Knee prep using chlorprep

Published

Have read several suggestions regarding betadine but how do you prep using one chlorprep. Am looking for documentation or policy to follow.

At our little surg. center everyone has an opinion. Thanks

we just had a cholorprep inservice last week..

according to Mike.. (our Cardinal rep) scrub back and forth at the incision site for a good 30 seconds, and then move out from there like you would using beta paint...(frame or circles) no blotting or wiping, but let it dry... *and try to talk the surgeons/techs into NOT wiping it all off after the procedure.. it's effect is cumulative.. it'll keep working for like 48 hours!!!*
