In Vivo Preoperative Skin Preparation Persistence Evaluation

96-hour Antimicrobial Persistence Assessment Following Exposure to Saline and Blotting

Evaluate persistent antimicrobial effectiveness of chlorhexidine gluconate containing products on abdominal and inguinal sites following a saline and wipe challenge.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Bacterial Recovery of Skin Flora Post-product Application
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: 3M CHG/IPA Prep; Drug: ChloraPrep

Detailed Description

Persistent antimicrobial effectiveness was evaluated by measuring the regrowth of normal skin flora at 48 hours, 72 hours and 96 hours, and the suppression of regrowth relative to post-prep (10-min) at 48 hours, 72 hours and 96 hours.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Measurement of Skin Flora Recovery Post-prep Application	The primary measure of persistence is the suppression of regrowth recovery relative to baseline (log10 CFU/cm^2) of skin flora at 3 defined post-treatment sampling times.	Baseline, 48-hours post-treatment, 72-hours post-treatment and 96-hours post-treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change in Skin Flora Relative to 10 Minutes Post-prep Application	Log10 CFU/cm^2 regrowth of skin flora, relative to 10-minute post-treatment log10 CFU/cm^2, at 3 defined post-treatment sampling times.	10-minute post-treatment, 48-hours post-treatment, 72-hours post-treatment and 96-hours post-treatment

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Safety Outcome Evaluated by Skin Irritation (Dryness, Edema, Erythema, Rash) Assessment	Skin irritation (dryness, edema, erythema, rash) assessed on the test sites using a 0-3 rating scale: 0=no reaction, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe.	Assessed at baseline (pre-treatment) and 10 minutes post-treatment, 48 hours post-treatment, 72 hours post-treatment, 96 hours post-treatment
