In Vivo Preoperative Skin Preparation Persistence Evaluation

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Bacterial Recovery of Skin Flora Post-product Application
Interventions
Drug: ChloraPrep
Drug: 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
NameTimeMethod
Measurement of Skin Flora Recovery Post-prep ApplicationBaseline, 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
NameTimeMethod
Change in Skin Flora Relative to 10 Minutes Post-prep Application10-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.
