Brief Summary in Lay Language

Wound infection remain one of the most important comlications after abdominal surgery.
This is an interventional trial to investigate the rates of wound infection within 30 days after midline incision for abdominal surgery using two different materials for abdominal closure:
1. continuous closure using a slowly absorbable material, wich is coated with Triclosan (IRGACARE® MP).
2. continuous closure using a slowly absorbable material, wich is not coated.
Patients with elective midline laparotomy for any reason (except for emergency surgery).
Rates of wound infection are assumes to be the same in both groups.
