Antimicrobial performance of two preoperative skin preparation solutions containing iodine and isopropyl alcohol

Summary:

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a persistent clinical challenge caused primarily by bacteria on the skin. Proper utilization of optimized antiseptic skin preparation solutions helps reduce the prevalence and impact of HAIs by decreasing patient skin microorganisms preoperatively. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 2 antimicrobial solutions containing iodine and isopropyl alcohol (IPA): Povidone iodine (PVP-I) with IPA (ie, PVP-I+IPA, PurPrep) and Iodine Povacrylex+IPA (DuraPrep).
