Click to Enlarge

A patient skin prepping solution in a self-contained applicator combining two proven broad-spectrum antimicrobials.

Effective in a single painted coat, nothing is faster, nothing is easier. DuraPrep surgical solution eliminates the need for a time consuming scrub and paint application by combining two proven, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents: alcohol for fast kill and fast drying {1}, and iodine povacrylex for persistence in a water-insoluble film.

{1}In clinical practice, however, DuraPrep solution is flammable until completely dry (minimum of 3 minutes on hairless skin).

    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.
