Nasal Decolonization Without an Antibiotic
Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is a known surgical site infection risk, and Profend addresses it with an antiseptic rather than an antibiotic. The manufacturer notes alignment with the AORN guideline for nasal decolonization and the CDC core strategy on the topic.
Because the kit is not an antibiotic, it fits antimicrobial stewardship programs that restrict mupirocin use. Four swabsticks per kit cover the full application, and the case format supplies preop programs at volume.
