Reducing surgical site infections in low-income and middle-income countries (FALCON): a pragmatic, multicentre, stratified, randomised controlled trial

Summary: A trial conducted in low-income and middle-income countries did not demonstrate benefits of 2% alcoholic chlorhexidine skin preparation compared with povidone-iodine, or triclosan-coated sutures compared with non-coated sutures, in preventing surgical site infections in cleancontaminated or contaminated or dirty surgical wounds. Both interventions are more costly than alternatives, and these results do not endorse routine use.
