Analyses Comparing the Antimicrobial Activity and Safety of Current Antiseptic Agents: A Review
@article{Hibbard2005AnalysesCT, title={Analyses Comparing the Antimicrobial Activity and Safety of Current Antiseptic Agents: A Review}, author={John S. Hibbard}, journal={Journal of Infusion Nursing}, year={2005}, volume={28}, pages={194–207} }
This article reviews the results and conclusions from four pivotal and two comparative clinical trials. The six randomized, controlled, single-blinded, parallel-group clinical trials were conducted to determine which antiseptic is best for use as a patient preoperative skin preparation. The objective of these studies was to compare the immediate, persistent (residual), and cumulative antimicrobial efficacy and safety of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) combined with 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA…

In vitro studies of HA 0.01% were observed to have equal or more efficacious antiseptic properties compared with IPA, CHG, and PI, and future studies will be needed to investigate its role in periocular use.

A good penetration of active agents, the ability to moisturize defective tissues, and to make a protective film that hinder the intersection of impurities and decrease secondary contamination, are the benefits of a gel formulation, that is the most appropriate external form of application in veterinary practice that can improve and accelerate a successful healing process of wounds in animals.

Perceived efficacy of chlor hexidine is often in fact based on evidence for the efficacy of the chlorhexidine-alcohol combination, which has broader implications for knowledge translation as well as potential implications for patient safety.

Various novel WAB disinfectants, particularly scrub B, mitigate intraoperative temperature effects associated with several traditional agents and combinations, and reduction of skin bacterial load without adverse effects on healing was seen with fewer than triplicate applications of most tested agents.
