RNSusanPeriop

Techni-care prep will be on the market in 6-8 weeks. I e-mailed the company and asked them. Since we have trying to find an alternative to lady partsl preps until they come back on the market, my research has found that CHG, Chloroprep, any scrub solutions - Hibliclens - beatdine scrub- Phisohex is definitely contraindicated. We have removed Hibliclens from our OR, so RNs will not be confused and accidently use it on the vag preps, which has known to cause a dermatitis and scarring in the vag vault. Soals of any kind can produce fat embolus. Betadine paint is the preferred choice and if a patient is allergic to betadine, then the only alternative I have come across is sterile Normal Saline. Use the sponge brushes in the betadine kit, just dip the brush in the sterile normal saline instead of the betadine. Techni-care, which is the best so far for lady partsl preps, has provided the FDA with all of the paperwork requested and so they are now waiting for the go sign from the FDA to start filling back orders.
