Visible light at 405nm has been shown to be germicidal. The hypothesis is that use of this light (Indigo-Clean Lights) in operating rooms will reduce S. aureus transmission occurring within and between patients and reduce surgical site infections (SSIs). Investigators will evaluate a case-control study where patients undergoing surgery with the lights are matched with patients undergoing surgery without germicidal lights.
