Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if Collatamp, a small flat sponge soaked with
antibiotics will help to improve the success rate of the treatment of acute joint infections
after a joint replacement surgery. Our hypothesis is that those patients receiving the
Collatamp sponges will have an improved success with respect to the eradication of infection
at one year following treatment.
