Antibacterial-coated Sutures at Time of Cesarean
Sponsor: The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston
Summary
Abdominal closure with antibacterial-coated sutures has been shown to reduce wound infections after a number of surgical procedures, but none of the previous trials included cesarean delivery. Our objective is to determine whether use of antibacterial-coated sutures reduces surgical site infection (SSI) after cesarean delivery.
