Intervention: Gravity Flow Irrigation
Description: Gravity flow irrigation will be standardized across participating centers as 3L bags of normal saline (alone or with soap solution) suspended 6-8 feet above floor level using an I.V. pole. Irrigation tubing (measuring 1/4 - 3/8 inch inner diameter) will be connected to the 3L bag and secured with a stopcock (or compressive device) until ready for use.

Intervention: Low Pressure Irrigation
Description: Irrigation with the Stryker SurgiLav System. At the low pressure setting delivers 5.9 p.s.i. pressure. The high-flow irrigator tip will be held perpendicular to and 5cm above the wound.~Irrigation with the Zimmer PulsaVac. For low pressure delivery, the shower tip will be used at the low pressure setting which delivers a pressure of 5.8 p.s.i.
