This study is testing if using Irrisept irrigation solution during lumbar spinal fusion surgery can help prevent infections. Lumbar spinal fusion is a surgery on your lower back. Researchers will compare Irrisept to a normal saline solution. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 85 years old and are having your first lumbar spinal fusion surgery (up to 3 levels). You cannot join if you've had a previous lumbar fusion, a spinal infection, or spinal cancer. The main goal is to see if Irrisept reduces surgical site infections at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 50 patients.
