Suggested Applications |
|
The 8630 large-size applicator (26mL) covers 450 square inches (15 inch x 30 inch) and is appropriate for procedures with large prep areas below the neck including thoracic and CV, spine, total hip and knee, C-section and major abdominal surgeries. Do not use the 26mL applicator for head and neck surgeries.
The 8635 mid-size applicator (6mL) covers at least 80 square inches (8 inch x 10 inch) which is ideal for procedures requiring less coverage such as angiography, head and neck procedures, hand, foot and other small prep area procedures. DuraPrep solution contains alcohol which is flammable. To prevent fire, allow to dry completely (minimum of 3 minutes on hairless skin). Refer to package insert included with applicator for complete directions for use, warnings and precautions. |
