Chloroprep™ ​ 2% CHG/70% Alcohol
Website: BD ChloraPrep™ Patient Preoperative Skin Preparation

Picture
ChloraPrep patient preoperative skin preparation is a rapid-acting, persistent and broad-spectrum antiseptic for a range of minor and major medical procedures. The 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate/70% Isopropyl Alcohol formulation acts fast on a broad spectrum of bacteria and keeps fighting bacteria for at least 48 hours.
Together, the formulation and single use applicator reduce microorganisms on the skin.

The 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% isopropyl alcohol formulation provide rapid-acting and persistent antiseptic activity against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.
ChloraPrep applicators promote gentle friction scrub to help the solution penetrate the first five layers of the stratum corneum, where 80% of microorganisms reside. The patented ChloraPrep applicator promotes aseptic technique and reduces the risk of direct hand-to-patient contact, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.​
