Description
ChloraPrep is a patient preoperative skin preparation that is a fast-acting, persistent and broad-spectrum antiseptic suitable for a wide range of medical procedures. ChloraPrep's antiseptic formulation has clinically proven continual anti-microbial power, with more than 50 studies confirming why it belongs in every OR.
The ChloraPrep formulation uses a combination of chlorhexidine (CHG) and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to provide both rapid killing of bacteria and persistent antimicrobial activity. IPA rapidly kills microorganisms by denaturing cell proteins, while CHG maintains persistent antimicrobial activity by disrupting the cell membrane and precipitating cell contents. Additionally, CHG is able to bind to the skin and retain antimicrobial activity in the presence of blood and other organic material. The unique dual formulation has been shown to outperform iodine-based products.
