The Effect of Wound Irrigation With Irrisept on Abscess Healing (Irrisept UF Study)

SoC consisted of irrigation with normal saline, using the same proprietary abscess irrigation tip as the Irrisept arm. SoC was used at the initial visit and at each subsequent 48-hour visit interval (up to 96 hours) until abscess healing.

Irrisept is a manual, self-contained irrigation device capable of producing 7-8 psi of pressure for effective wound cleansing and irrigation. Irrisept contents include the Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) solution, a 450 mL bottle, and Irriprobe applicator or an abscess irrigation tip. The bottle design allows users to control the pressure of the solution through manual bottle compression. The device had an option for use with an Irriprobe applicator or an abscess irrigation tip. Irrisept was used at the initial visit and at each subsequent 48-hour visit interval (up to 96 hours) until abscess healing.
