Chlorhexidine Skin Preps

Chlorhexidine skin preps are antiseptic solutions containing the active ingredient chlorhexidine gluconate. They are used to cleanse and disinfect the skin before medical procedures to prevent infection. They can also be used to prep the skin before surgery or to clean wounds. Chlorhexidine skin preps are commonly found as a liquid, foam, or wipe and are intended for external use only. They are typically applied directly to the skin and then allowed to dry before the procedure or dressing application.
