clean contaminated wounds

What are the Risks Associated with Clean Contaminated Wounds?

The primary risk associated with clean contaminated wounds is the potential for infection. Since these wounds involve areas of the body that are naturally colonized by bacteria, there is a higher risk for postoperative infections. The infection risk can be minimized with appropriate preoperative and postoperative care, including prophylactic antibiotics and diligent wound care.
