In Vivo Preoperative Skin Preparation Persistence Evaluation
- Conditions
- Bacterial Recovery of Skin Flora Post-product Application
- Interventions
- Drug: ChloraPrepDrug: 3M CHG/IPA Prep
- Registration Number
- NCT03155178
- Lead Sponsor
- Solventum US LLC
- Brief Summary
Evaluate persistent antimicrobial effectiveness of chlorhexidine gluconate containing products on abdominal and inguinal sites following a saline and wipe challenge.
- Detailed Description
Persistent antimicrobial effectiveness was evaluated by measuring the regrowth of normal skin flora at 48 hours, 72 hours and 96 hours, and the suppression of regrowth relative to post-prep (10-min) at 48 hours, 72 hours and 96 hours.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Measurement of Skin Flora Recovery Post-prep Application Baseline, 48-hours post-treatment, 72-hours post-treatment and 96-hours post-treatment The primary measure of persistence is the suppression of regrowth recovery relative to baseline (log10 CFU/cm\^2) of skin flora at 3 defined post-treatment sampling times.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Skin Flora Relative to 10 Minutes Post-prep Application 10-minute post-treatment, 48-hours post-treatment, 72-hours post-treatment and 96-hours post-treatment Log10 CFU/cm\^2 regrowth of skin flora, relative to 10-minute post-treatment log10 CFU/cm\^2, at 3 defined post-treatment sampling times.
