Hi everyone,
I’ve recently been informed that betadine impregnated sponges have been discontinue. Can anyone please advise what alternative products are being considered or used for pre-operative skin washes (at home) prior to joint replacement surgery?
Thanks,

Hi Carien,
We use a chlorhexidine impregnated sponge for our joint replacement and other patient pre op washes.

iP|@NNOz1E0=Hi Fiona
We mainly use alcoholic chlorhexidine as a skin prep pre-operatively as well, but there are times our surgeons will use alcoholic povidone iodine as a skin prep. The guidelines suggest that the same antiseptic should be used for pre-operative washing as is used for the skin prep. This means we still need to have a povidone-iodine pre-op wash available.
Since the shortage of the impregnated scrub sponges started, we have been using liquid povidone iodine applied with a cloth, but this is quite messy and the staff and patients would much prefer a pre-impregnated sponge.
Is anyone aware of any currently available on the market in Australia?
Thanks
