Sage 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) cloths are the first FDA approved, pre-moistened 2% CHG cloth for patients who are at risk for surgical site infections (SSIs) that result in high human and financial costs. The innovative, skin-friendly cloths are designed for early preop prep.

These rinse-free cloths are clinically proven to reduce bacteria on the patient's skin - a proven risk factor for SSIs.1 This bacteria includes multidrug resistant organisms MRSA, VRE and Acinetobacter.2 Unlike other soaps and solutions, they consistently deliver an effective, persistent dose of CHG to the skin3 — demonstrating continued antimicrobial activity for up to six hours after application.

Sage 2% CHG Cloths also include Prep Check. This powerful tool verifies your patients' preoperative skin preparation, works to improve communication between caregivers and patients, and enhances your facility's documentation procedures.

Sage also offers a preoperative kit combining Sage 2% CHG cloths and 3M Peridex 0.12% CHG Oral Rinse to help address infection risk factors prior to surgery.
