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.

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.

Same here; it works great. Just make sure you train your staff well, the application of it is a little different (scrub technique).
