Rate of Total Joint Infection 90-day After Surgery Following Irrigation With Next Science No-Rinse Solution vs SOC Alone

A prospective, single-site, double-arm, parallel, interventional, randomized, controlled clinical trial to assess 90-day rate of joint infections in subjects undergoing primary hip replacements after administration of Next Science No-Rinse Solution (hereby referred to as NS) vs SOC (saline irrigation). The Next Science treatment arm will exhibit greater reduction in rate of 90-day post-operative joint infection than SOC (saline) arm
