CHG and IPA Skin Antisepsis in Every Applicator Format
Prevantics pairs chlorhexidine persistence with alcohol speed, and the manufacturer reports continued antimicrobial activity for up to 7 days after application. Prep pads run a 15 second prep with 30 second dry, and swabsticks run 30 seconds for each, per the manufacturer instructions.
The configuration list is unusually complete: standard swabsticks, maxi swabsticks for larger sites, compact swabsticks, prep pads and prep swabs, plus bulk versions built for kit assembly. Facilities can standardize one antiseptic chemistry across surgical prep, line insertion and kit production.
