ChloraPrep – The Benefits

Marketing Authorisation:  ChloraPrep is currently the only sterile, 2% chlorhexidine gluconate formulation in the United Kingdom approved for use on patient skin prior to invasive procedures.

ChloraPrep is a superior broad-spectrum antimicrobial compared to traditional iodophors and lower-strength chlorhexidine-based solutions.

• Rapid acting: The 70% isopropyl alcohol in ChloraPrep rapidly kills microorganisms versus free iodine, which requires two minutes to begin antimicrobial activity^2,4
• Persistent: ChloraPrep maintains antimicrobial activity for at least 48 hours^1,3 compared to two hours for free iodine⁴
• Broad spectrum: ChloraPrep antimicrobial activity is effective against microorganisms including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), Clostridium difficile, Acinetobacter, and most viruses and fungi^2,4,5
• Active in protein-rich biomaterials: Remains active in the presence of blood, serum and other protein-rich biomaterials unlike traditional iodophors, which are neutralized^2,4
