CareFusion ChloraPrep Applicator

CareFusion ChloraPrep Applicator from HealthyKin.com promotes gentle friction 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. The 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% isopropyl alcohol formulation provides rapid-acting and persistent antiseptic activity against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.

CareFusion ChloraPrep Applicator Features:

• Rapid acting: ChloraPrep exhibits better immediate antimicrobial activity than povidone iodine alone.
• Persistent: ChloraPrep skin antiseptic maintains antimicrobial activity for at least 48 hours. Free iodine, the active ingredient in povidone iodine and other iodophors, has minimal residual activity
• Broad spectrum: ChloraPrep antimicrobial activity is effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms on the skin
• Active in protein-rich biomaterials: Remains active in the presence of blood, serum and other protein-rich biomaterials unlike traditional iodophors, which are neutralized
• Low irritation: CHG demonstrates low incidence of irritation
