Why CHG + IPA?

⚡

Immediate Kill

70% IPA delivers rapid broad-spectrum bactericidal action within seconds of contact.

🛡️

Residual Protection

CHG binds to skin proteins and continues fighting bacteria for up to 48 hours after a single application.

📊

Clinically Superior

Multiple meta-analyses show an 11–17% reduction in SSIs versus povidone-iodine in clean-contaminated procedures.
