ChloraPrep Hi-Lite Orange Skin Prep Solution is a single-use antiseptic solution used for skin preparation before a surgical or invasive procedure. It is available in a 3 mL foam applicator and contains 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and 70% isopropyl alcohol. These ingredients work together to effectively cleanse the skin, kill bacteria, and reduce the risk of infection at the incision site. The hi-lite orange color of the solution makes it easier to identify areas that have been prepped, ensuring complete coverage and reducing the risk of missed spots. The solution is sterile, providing an aseptic environment for the procedure.

ChloraPrep Hi-Lite Orange Skin Prep Solution is effective in preventing skin infections from bacteria and other microorganisms. The solution is a combination of two active ingredients: Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) and Isopropyl Alcohol.

Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) is a broad-spectrum, anti-microbial agent that is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including those that are resistant to other types of antiseptics. It works by disrupting the cell walls of bacteria, leading to their death.

Isopropyl Alcohol is also a powerful antiseptic that works by denaturing proteins and disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, leading to their death.

The 3 mL foam applicators are designed to provide precise and controlled application of the solution onto the skin. They also help to evenly distribute the solution, ensuring maximum coverage and effectiveness.

Before a medical procedure, the applicator is used to apply the solution onto the skin, covering the entire area to be treated. The solution quickly dries to form a protective film on the skin, which helps to prevent the entry of microorganisms.

The orange-tinted solution of Hi-Lite also acts as a colorant, allowing healthcare professionals to easily see where the solution has been applied.

Overall, ChloraPrep Hi-Lite Orange Skin Prep Solution with 2% CHG and 70% Isopropyl Alcohol provides an efficient and effective way to prepare the skin for medical procedures, helping to reduce the risk of infection and promote better patient outcomes.

FAQs for Chlorhexidine Skin Prep
  • What is Chlorhexidine Gluconate Used For?

    Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a powerful, broad-spectrum antimicrobial and disinfectant solution used to kill harmful bacteria and prevent infections on the skin, in the mouth, and for wound treatment. It is invaluable in hospitals, dental clinics, veterinary practices, and even for daily personal care. Top uses include: Preoperative & postoperative skin disinfection Antiseptic hand & skin cleanser Oral rinse for gingivitis, gum disease, and dental plaque Wound cleansing and infection prevention Pet skin and wound care (dogs/cats/animals) Household & surface disinfection

  • Is Chlorhexidine the Same as Hydrogen Peroxide?

    No. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a clinically proven antimicrobial antiseptic. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent. While both kill bacteria, they have different mechanisms of action; chlorhexidine is preferred for skin and oral applications due to its residual efficacy and lower tissue irritation.

  • Can You Use Chlorhexidine on Open Wounds?

    Yes, Chlorhexidine Gluconate can be safely used on open wounds for wound cleaning and infection prevention. However, avoid contact with the eyes, ears, and brain tissue. Always follow a healthcare provider’s guidance.

  • How Long Does Chlorhexidine Gluconate Kill Bacteria on the Skin?

    It provides up to 24 hours of residual antibacterial protection, making it a superior choice for ongoing infection control.

  • What is Chlorhexidine Gluconate Used for in Dogs?

    Veterinarians prescribe Chlorhexidine Gluconate for topical wound care, hot spots, skin infections, dermatitis, and ear cleaning in dogs. It is highly effective in pet skin health management.

  • Why Would a Dentist Prescribe Chlorhexidine?

    Dentists recommend chlorhexidine mouthwash/rinse to treat gingivitis, reduce dental plaque, control gum bleeding, prevent periodontal (gum) disease, and promote post-surgical oral healing.

  • How Long Does It Take for Chlorhexidine Gluconate to Work?

    Chlorhexidine starts killing bacteria almost immediately after application—significant reduction in bacterial load occurs within 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

  • What is the Closest Thing to Chlorhexidine?

    Alternatives include Povidone-Iodine (Betadine) and Benzalkonium Chloride, but they lack the sustained action and broad-spectrum efficacy of Chlorhexidine Gluconate.

  • What is a Natural Alternative to Chlorhexidine?

    Natural options include salt water rinses, tea tree oil, and herbal mouthwashes (clove, neem), but none have proven clinical efficacy matching chlorhexidine.

  • Can I Use Salt Water Instead of Chlorhexidine?

    Salt water provides mild antibacterial effects and can aid healing, but it does not offer the same potent, long-lasting protection as Chlorhexidine Gluconate.

  • When Should You Not Use Chlorhexidine Gluconate?

    Do not use if you are allergic to chlorhexidine, or on deep wounds, sensitive mucous membranes, or in the eyes/ears. Avoid prolonged use unless directed by a healthcare professional.

  • What is Another Name for Chlorhexidine Gluconate?

    It is also known as CHG, Hibiclens, Peridex, Corsodyl, and Chlorhex.

  • What are the Side Effects of Chlorhexidine?

    Possible side effects include skin irritation, dryness, allergic reactions, staining of teeth (oral use), altered taste, and, rarely, severe allergic response.
