Sources for study design

  1. Microbiological efficacy

    Timeframe: Within 1 hour of start of surgery

    All pre-surgical subjects will be screened by plate culture for Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage. All subjects will receive the nasal decolonization treatment and then be screened again for Staphylococcus aureus carriage.

  2. Side effects of nasal photodisinfection

    Timeframe: 30 days

    Subjects will be evaluated for any treatment related side effects including rhinorrhea, mucosal irritation, laryngeal irritation, sneezing or any reported adverse event.

  1. Incidence of surgical site infections

    Timeframe: 30 days

    Patients will be followed up for any reported post-operative infections
