Description

The DURAPREP SKIN PREP APPLICATOR SPONGE STICK 0.7% IODINE POVACRYLEX 6ML COUNT X 1 STERILE provides effective antimicrobial action for preoperative skin preparation. The solution delivers a rapid reduction of microbial presence with a single application, achieving a 2-log reduction on the abdomen and a 3-log reduction in the groin within ten minutes. These reductions persist, maintaining bacterial counts below baseline for up to six hours.

The solution forms a water-insoluble protective film that immobilizes residual bacteria, minimizing the risk of microbial migration to the surgical site. This film enhances the adhesion of incise drapes and provides additional protection even when drapes are not used. The combination of iodine povacrylex and isopropyl alcohol ensures broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage.

The foam applicator allows precise and controlled application over large and small prep areas, including thoracic, abdominal, hip, and C-section sites. Its single-use design maintains sterility and reduces cross-contamination risks. The 6 mL volume is suitable for individual patient applications, facilitating efficient preparation in surgical and procedural settings.
