Core Tip Recovery K5 is a concentrated liquid formulation with a balanced blend of soy and milk proteins, together with collagen peptides. The recovery K5 study demonstrated a non-significant trend in the reduction of surgical site infections, decreasing from 33.3% to 5.9%, P = 0.0695; economic consequences must be regarded as modeled and dependent on verified therapeutic benefits and local expenses; hence, no actual savings are asserted.
