Hi Linda,
I have seen this done and even performed it over the years!
In one hospital we got rid of this practice. It was more hassle than anything. Patients were always needing to go to the toilet and would get up, the sterile drape would fall on the floor and then they would wrap it around themself again!.
More recently, in another facility, I tried to cease the practise as well. I was unable to find any clear supportive evidence for it but the surgeons ‘liked it’ so it stayed.
In my current orthopaedic work it is not done at all. Skin prep prior to theatre entry includes CHG bathing pre op (x2 – night before and day of). Then skin prep is performed in the theatre.Kind regards,

Dear Lindy
We no longer use betadine (not for some years) as an orthopaedic pre-op skin prep. Our orthopaedic joint replacement patients under go a pre-op shower using chlorhexidine Gluconate 4% w/v and a chlorhexidine skin prep 1 hour prior to procedure on the ward. The site is then washed down again with chlorhexidine prior to surgery in OR. Chlorhexidine has a longer contact time on the skin and the efficacy of betadine once it comes into contact with blood is reduced.
Hope this helps
