 Address multi-drug resistant organisms on the skin with early preop prep
Sage 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate1 (CHG) cloths are the first and only FDA-approved, alcohol-free applicator cloths designed for easy patient preoperative skin preparation,  and are effective against resistant organisms including MRSA, VRE and others.2 In fact, the IHI's Five Million Lives Campaign includes a recommendation to reduce MRSA infection.3 These rinse-free, quick-drying cloths reduce these microorganisms on the skin, a known factor for surgical site infections (SSIs).4 The extremely persistent patent-pending formula has demonstrated continued antimicrobial activity for at least 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.
