Key Benefits
The BD 372412 Antimicrobial Foam Solution provides effective antiseptic action using 4% CHG, a widely used active ingredient in hospital-grade infection prevention protocols. It supports skin decontamination prior to procedures when used according to clinical guidelines.
The foam formulation enhances application control, allowing healthcare professionals to apply a uniform layer of antiseptic without excessive runoff. This supports efficient usage and consistent coverage during patient preparation workflows.
The hand pump foamer system enables manual, controlled dispensing that reduces direct contact with the solution container. This supports improved hygiene practices and practical usability in fast-paced clinical environments.

The BD 372412 Antimicrobial Foam Solution is designed for use with compatible hand pump foamer systems. Facilities should verify system compatibility prior to use to ensure proper dispensing performance and clinical effectiveness.
Typical applications include pre-surgical skin preparation, central line insertion site antisepsis, invasive procedure preparation, wound-adjacent skin cleansing (as permitted by protocol), and other clinical uses where CHG-based antiseptic solutions are indicated by institutional guidelines.
This product is commonly used in operating rooms, intensive care units, emergency departments, surgical suites, and outpatient procedural areas where infection prevention and high-level antiseptic preparation are required.
Usage Guidelines
Use the BD 372412 Antimicrobial Foam Solution only with compatible hand pump foamer systems and strictly according to institutional infection control protocols. Before use, confirm product integrity, expiration date, and compatibility with the dispensing system.
Dispense foam using the hand pump mechanism and apply evenly to the designated skin area following facility-approved antiseptic procedures. Ensure appropriate contact time as required by clinical guidelines and manufacturer instructions.
