S. aureus is the leading cause of surgical site infections (SSIs), with 80% of infections from S. aureus coming directly from a patient's nasal flora. Fitting seamlessly into your preoperative process, Skin and Nasal Antiseptic uses a simple, one time application that reduces bacteria in the nares by 99.5% in one hour3 and maintains this reduction for at least 12 hours.*1 As part of a comprehensive preoperative protocol, our skin and nasal antiseptic solution is an important tool to help reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) while supporting antibiotic stewardship.2
