Investigation of the PREVENTIA® Irrigation Solution for Reducing Bacteria in Spinal Surgery With Implants - A Comparative Study (PROTECT-SPINE)

24. juni 2026 opdateret af: Rami Sommerstein, Universität Luzern

Prevention of Bacterial Contamination in Spinal Fusion Surgery Using Polyhexanide-Poloxamer Wound Irrigation - a Randomized Clinical Trial

Spinal surgery carries a risk of surgical wound infections (i.e., the entry of bacteria). Despite various preventive measures, such infections continue to occur, particularly in operations involving implants. In this study, we would like to investigate whether rinsing the surgical wound with a special irrigation solution called PREVENTIA® can reduce the number of bacteria in the wound during the operation.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Surgical wound infections are among the possible complications following spinal surgery. There is a particularly increased risk of such infections in operations in which implants, such as screws or rods to stabilize the spine, are used. One reason for these infections is that many different bacteria live on human skin. These are found not only on the surface of the skin, but also in deeper layers of the skin, for example in hair follicles and sebaceous glands. In these areas, they cannot always be fully reached by conventional disinfectants before surgery. As a result, bacteria can enter the surgical site despite careful preparation. This study investigates a special irrigation solution called PREVENTIA®. It contains active substances, polyhexanide and poloxamer, which can kill bacteria and attack so-called biofilms. A biofilm is a type of protective layer that bacteria form on implants. Within this layer, the bacteria are better protected and can cause infections that are more difficult to treat. Until now, this solution has mainly been used for irrigating superficial wounds. However, it has not yet been investigated whether irrigating deeper tissue layers during spinal surgery can reduce the presence of bacteria. This study therefore aims to investigate: whether irrigating the surgical wound with PREVENTIA® results in fewer detectable bacteria in the surgical site, and whether this method may potentially help to reduce infections in the surgical site.

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Preventia Surgical Solution
PREVENTIA® Surgical Irrigation is a CE-marked solution containing 0.1% polyhexanide (PHMB) and poloxamer, with proven antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity.
Irrigation of the surgical wound with 0.1% polyhexanide and poloxamer and instillation for 1 minute instilled with the amount needed to fill up to the wound border before and after placement of the pedicle screws and before opening of the spinal canal (to guarantee no contact with the dura mater). This procedure is followed by complete aspiration of the fluid.
Sham-komparator: 0.9% NaCl Solution
Irrigation solution without intrinsic antimicrobial properties
Irrigation of the surgical wound with 0.9% NaCl and instillation for 1 minute instilled with the amount needed to fill up to the wound border before and after placement of the pedicle screws and before opening of the spinal canal (to guarantee no contact with the dura mater). This procedure is followed by complete aspiration of the fluid.
