Why Skin Preparation Matters ?

There is an increased prevalence of "super bugs", Adherence to proper antisepsis is critical for the reduction of microorganisms on the skin.CHG is a preferred antiseptic 

Use of Chloraprep skin antiseptic for patient preoperative skin preparation helps reduce microorganisms on patients’ skin. Ideal properties for a preoperative skin antiseptic:

• Broad spectrum  
• Rapid bactericidal activity  
• Residual properties on the skin    
• Active in the presence of biomaterial  
• Low incidence of irritation or toxic responses   
• None or minimal systemic absorption   

ChloraPrep formulation demonstrates advanced antimicrobial action:

ChloraPrep combines 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and provides two distinct mechanisms of action: 

IPA: Rapidly kills microorganisms by denaturing cell proteins

CHG: Maintains persistent antimicrobial activity by disrupting the cell membrane and precipitating cell contents.

Importance of applicator:  

The patented ChloraPrep applicator promotes aseptic technique and reduces the risk of direct hand-to-patient contact, helping reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

ChloraPrep applicators promote gentle friction scrub to help the solution penetrate the first five layers of the stratum corneum, where 80% of skin-dwelling microorganisms reside.

Additional benefits of the ChloraPrep system:  

Broad spectrum: ChloraPrep antimicrobial activity is effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms³ 

Active in protein-rich biomaterials: Remains active in the presence of blood, serum and other protein-rich biomaterials³ unlike traditional iodophors, which are neutralized⁴

Low irritation: CHG demonstrates low incidence of irritation³ 

Clinical studies support 2% CHG as a preferred antimicrobial  

Efficacy of 2% CHG in 70% IPA solution

Evaluation of a 2% chlorhexidine gluconate in 70% isopropyl alcohol skin antiseptic.  

By the way, It can be customized with the following formulation ratio content :

1) 0.5% w/v CHG ( Chlorhexidine Gluconate ) + 70% v/v IPA ( Isopropyl Alcohol )
2) 3.75% w/v CHG ( Chlorhexidine Gluconate ) + 70% v/v IPA ( Isopropyl Alcohol )
3) 4.0% w/v CHG ( Chlorhexidine Gluconate ) + 70% v/v IPA ( Isopropyl Alcohol )
4) Povidone Iodine USP 10% w/v ( Equivalent to 1% Titratable Iodine )
