About this trial
This investigator-initiated, open-label, randomized controlled trial will explore the effects of two treatment arms, comparing standard treatment with normal saline against Irrisept, a jet lavage solution containing a low concentration of Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) at 0.05% in 99.95% sterile water for irrigation. The study aims to evaluate the impact on postoperative wound healing in patients who have undergone cesarean delivery.
