jeannien Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 We are considering a switch to exclusive use of chlorhexidine prep. Is anyone else out there still using iodine as your primary prep?Also, are there disadvantages to chlorhexidine in your experience?Thanks for you thoughts.Jeannie, RN HP(ASCP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi:We are using the chloroprep 1 step for about 3 years now. Works great. Donor's love it, less messy. Staff likes it. And best of all FDA likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbostock Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Same here; it works great. Just make sure you train your staff well, the application of it is a little different (scrub technique). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
