Features of Chlorhexidine Gluconate Skin Prep

Rapid-acting: Chlorhexidine holds better immediate antimicrobial activity.

Persistent: CHG Applicators keep antimicrobial activity for at least 48 hours.

Broad-spectrum: MRSA, VRE, CRE, Clostridium Difficile, and Acinetobacter.

Aseptic technique: The Applicators reduce the risk of direct hand-to-patient contact.

Active in protein-rich biomaterials: Remains active in the presence of blood and serum.

Friction scrub: Applicators promote gentle friction scrub to make CHG solution penetrate the first five layers of the stratum corneum where 80% of skin-dwelling microorganisms reside.
