CHG provides a broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect by disrupting cell membranes and precipitating cell contents of microorganisms. Isopropyl Alcohol enhances this action with rapid denaturation of proteins, providing immediate and effective microbial kill.

- Open the individual packet by peeling back the packaging.
- Remove the swabstick and apply to the targeted skin area.
- Use a back-and-forth scrubbing motion to prepare the area thoroughly.
