Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Surgical Site infection occurrence [ Time Frame: Within 30 days after surgery ]
    The primary objective is to demonstrate efficacy in surgical use through the rate of surgical site infections.

  2. Allergic reaction and skin irritation [ Time Frame: Within 30 days after surgery ]
    The primary safety objective is to determine the rates of skin irritation or allergic reactions attributed to each drug product and all other adverse events.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Subgroup analysis of rates of surgical site infections [ Time Frame: Within 30 days after surgery ]
    Surgical site infection rates by different infection types classified as superficial incisional infection, deep incisional infection, or organ-space infection.

  2. Subgroup analysis of rates of surgical site infections [ Time Frame: Within 30 days after surgery ]
    Surgical site infection rates by type of surgery including clean (class I wound) or clean-contaminated (class II wounds) surgeries
