BD 930800 - ChloraPrep Clear Prep Solution, 26mL Applicator 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate / 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Sterile Skin Antiseptic, 25 PER/CS

The BD 930800 ChloraPrep Clear Prep Solution is a sterile, fast-acting skin antiseptic containing 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Supplied in a 26mL single-use applicator, this formulation is designed for broad-spectrum microbial reduction prior to invasive procedures, vascular access, and surgical site preparation. The ChloraPrep Clear solution leaves no tint or residue, supporting use in areas where visibility is essential. BDs advanced applicator design allows controlled activation and uniform coverage, enhancing patient safety and procedural efficiency.

Key Benefits

This CHG/IPA prep solution provides rapid, persistent antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The clear, dye-free formula supports visual inspection of the site and is ideal for procedures where tinted solutions are not preferred. The single-use, sterile applicator limits contamination risk and helps standardize application technique. The 26mL volume ensures adequate coverage for large surgical fields or extensive procedural sites.

• Preoperative surgical site preparation

• Epidural, lumbar puncture, and regional block preparation

Comparison with Competitor Products

Compared with povidone-iodine and alcohol-alone prep products, ChloraPrep provides faster onset, longer antimicrobial persistence, and more consistent skin coverage. Many competing solutions may lack the combination of rapid kill (IPA) and long-lasting residual activity (CHG). BDs applicator system also offers superior delivery control, reducing run-off and minimizing waste.
