Hello,
I’m wondering what other institutions use for skin preparation when performing angiograms and placing permanent implantable devices ie. Pacemakers, ICD, etc.

We recently moved over to alcoholic 2% chlorhexidine as a skin prep for
all of our interventional cardiovascular procedures at the request of
our consultants. Apparently they had seen some evidence to support this.
Queensland Health has provided a position paper which supported this if
we think of cardiovascular access as intravascular, so we were happy to
comply with our consultants’ request.The QLD Health document can be found here:

Thanks for the information.

We use Chlorhexadine 0.5% in alcohol 70% tinted red for all
angiographic procedures (all caths, PPM, Defibs, etc.) Ours is from Oron
Laboratories Pty Ltd. It is tinted red so that when you clean the area
you can see where you have cleaned. The stain does stay on the skin for
a while but it does come off eventually. We also use this product in
theatre as the skin prep.
It is 100ml bottle.
Hope this helps.Bridget Bourke
