"Studies show that repeated use of CHG soap enhances the ability of CHG to reduce bacterial counts on the skin not only during the immediate period after the shower but for a number of hours afterward."       http://www.ihi.org/ProjectJOINTS

“A standardized preadmission shower regimen that includes 118 mL (full 4 oz bottle) of aqueous chlorhexidine gluconate, 4%, per shower; a minimum of 2 sequential showers; and a 1-minute pause before rinsing results in maximal skin surface (16.5 µg/cm) concentrations of chlorhexidine gluconate that are sufficient to inhibit or kill gram-positive or gram-negative surgical wound pathogens. This showering regimen corrects deficiencies present in current non standardized preadmission shower protocols for patients undergoing elective surgery.”   Edmiston, et al. JAMA Aug 2015

The First FDA-Approved Preoperative Skin Prep in a Cloth                

Sage 2% CHG Cloths address multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) on the  
patients' skin - a known risk factor for SSIs.1 Sage's innovative rinse-free, alcohol-free formula is designed for early preop prep. It stays on the skin for maximum persistence. The cloth consistently delivers a uniform dose of CHG, unlike other soaps and solutions.

2% FORMULA PROVEN EFFECTIVE
Effective against broad spectrum of MDROs, including MRSA, VRE
and Acinetobacter.
   Recognized by CDC as having "excellent" activity against gram-positive bacteria as well as "excellent" residual activity

Hibiclens Chlorhexidine Antiseptic Skin Cleanser

Hibiclens® the antimicrobial antiseptic skin cleanser can be an effective defense for preventing the spread of MRSA and other staph infections in your facilities. Its active ingredient, CHG works in a unique way- it kills germs on contact and bonds with the skin to keep killing microorganisms even after washing.

HIBICLENS is bactericidal on contact. It has antiseptic activity and a
persistent antimicrobial effect with rapid bactericidal activity against a wide
range of microorganisms, including gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative
bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The effectiveness of HIBICLENS is not
significantly reduced by the presence of organic matter, such as blood. In a study  simulating surgical use, the immediate bactericidal effect of HIBICLENS after a single six-minute scrub resulted in a 99.9% reduction in resident bacterial flora, with a reduction of 99.98% after the eleventh scrub. Reductions on surgically gloved hands were maintained over the six-hour test period. HIBICLENS displays persistent antimicrobial action. In one study, 93% of a radiolabeled formulation of HIBICLENS remained present on uncovered skin after five hours. HIBICLENS helps prevent skin infection thereby
reducing the risk of cross-infection.
