3M 8630 DuraPrep Surgical Solution 0.9fl. oz.

The 3M 8630 DuraPrep Surgical Solution is a preoperative skin preparation product designed to reduce the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) by providing fast and effective antimicrobial protection. This solution comes in a 0.9 fl. oz. single-use applicator and is composed of a unique combination of iodine povacrylex and isopropyl alcohol. Its quick-drying formula creates a long-lasting, water-insoluble film that continuously protects the skin during surgery. DuraPrep is ideal for use in a variety of surgical procedures, offering broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and reducing the risk of bacterial contamination.

Key Features:

Dual-Action Antimicrobial Formula: The 3M DuraPrep Surgical Solution combines two powerful antimicrobial agents, iodine povacrylex (0.7%) and isopropyl alcohol (74%). This dual-action formula provides rapid bactericidal activity and long-term antimicrobial protection, targeting a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The isopropyl alcohol acts quickly to kill pathogens on contact, while the iodine povacrylex forms a protective film that continues to kill germs throughout the procedure.

Fast-Drying and Water-Insoluble Film: DuraPrep’s quick-drying formulation allows the surgical site to be prepared efficiently, reducing wait times for healthcare providers. Once applied, the solution dries into a water-insoluble film that adheres firmly to the skin, ensuring that the antimicrobial agents remain in place for the duration of the procedure. This helps maintain a sterile field and provides continuous protection against microbial contamination, even in moist or sweaty conditions.

Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Coverage: DuraPrep is effective against a wide range of pathogens commonly associated with SSIs, including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Its broad-spectrum efficacy makes it suitable for use in various types of surgeries, including general, orthopedic, cardiovascular, and obstetric procedures. The solution’s ability to kill even antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA makes it a valuable tool in infection prevention.

Single-Use Applicator for Controlled Application: The 0.9 fl. oz. applicator is designed for single-use, ensuring that each patient receives a sterile solution and reducing the risk of cross-contamination. The applicator provides controlled and even application of the solution to the surgical site, allowing healthcare professionals to efficiently cover the area with minimal waste. The compact size makes it easy to handle, ensuring precise and thorough skin preparation.

Extended Antimicrobial Activity: Once applied, the DuraPrep Surgical Solution forms a persistent film that continues to kill microorganisms on the skin for up to 12 hours, providing extended antimicrobial protection. This long-lasting effect helps reduce the risk of bacterial regrowth during lengthy surgical procedures, contributing to improved patient outcomes by minimizing the likelihood of SSIs.

Compatible with Surgical Drapes: The water-insoluble film created by DuraPrep is compatible with most surgical drapes and adhesives. It resists wash-off from bodily fluids or surgical irrigation, ensuring that the sterile field remains intact throughout the procedure. This compatibility reduces the need for reapplication, allowing for a more efficient surgical workflow.

Enhanced Patient Safety: DuraPrep is formulated to be gentle on the skin, minimizing irritation while providing maximum antimicrobial efficacy. The solution’s ability to stay in place without smudging or washing away helps maintain a sterile field, offering consistent protection and reducing the risk of infection.

Applications:

• General Surgery: Ideal for use in general surgical procedures, where maintaining a sterile field and preventing SSIs is critical.
• Orthopedic Surgery: Particularly useful in orthopedic procedures, which can be lengthy and involve exposure to bone and tissue, increasing the risk of infection.
• Cardiovascular Surgery: Provides reliable antimicrobial protection in cardiovascular surgeries, where the risk of contamination must be minimized.
• Obstetric and Gynecologic Surgery: Suitable for use in obstetric and gynecologic surgeries, helping to protect against infections in sensitive areas.

Benefits:
