    We are required to clip our patients, wash the skin with 1% chlorhexidine, apply alcohol to remove detergent, defat the skin and get an instant bactericidal action, then apply a 0.5% chlorhexidine/70% alcohol mix as our final prep. It has to dry before an incision is made.

    Thanks for clarifying Carol.

    To avoid confusion in human healthcare settings probably need to clarify
    animal versus human in your postings as 1%CHG is a concentration below what
    is normally recommended for a pre-operative skin wash in humans.

    This also applies to intraoperative skin prep which in addition to a higher
    concentration of CHG should also be alcohol based not detergent as in the
    animal preoperative setting.

    Regards

    Hi Carol,

    Noting your signature block can I clarify if you are referring to animal
    preoperative skin prep in your posting to the ACIPC list server?
