ChloraPrep^® Sepp^® 0.67 mL Applicator

Catalog No. 260449

Numerous clinical studies and evidence-based guidelines support preoperative and pre-injection skin preparation.

For the preparation of the patient's skin prior to surgery or injection.

Rapid acting: ChloraPrep exhibits better immediate antimicrobial activity than povidone iodine alone¹
Persistent: ChloraPrep skin antiseptic maintains antimicrobial activity for at least 48 hours.² Free iodine, the active ingredient in povidone iodine and other iodophors, has minimal residual activity¹
Broad spectrum: ChloraPrep antimicrobial activity is effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms on the skin³
Active in protein-rich biomaterials: Remains active in the presence of blood, serum and other protein-rich biomaterials³
Aseptic technique: The patented ChloraPrep applicator promotes aseptic technique and reduces the risk of direct hand-to-patient contact, helping reduce the risk of cross-contamination⁴
Friction scrub: ChloraPrep applicators promote gentle friction scrub to help the solution penetrate the first five layers of the stratum corneum, where 80% of skin-dwelling microorganisms reside⁵
