A landmark study published in The New England Journal of Medicine proves
that ChloraPrep provides greater protection against SSIs than povidone iodine1
According to the study, ChloraPrep
(2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate & 70% Isopropyl Alcohol):
reduced overall infections compared with a traditional povidone iodine scrub
and paint method by 41%
reduced superficial infections by 52% and deep incisional infections by 67%
The 2% chlorhexidine concentration is now proven in 39 outcome studies and
recommended in 11 evidence-based guidelines
