Sage® 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate* Cloth - Patient Preoperative Skin Preparation

Sage® 2% chlorhexidine gluconate cloths: An entirely new FDA-approved, alcohol-free CHG formula in the first and only FDA-approved applicator cloth. They can help address a known risk factor for surgical site infections: microorganisms on the skin.1

Sage's unique formulation is rinse-free, quick-drying, and proven to provide rapid bactericidal action. It contains no alcohol or harsh detergents, eliminating flammability concerns and reducing the potential to dry out skin.

Fast-acting and broad-spectrum. Effective against a wide range of microorganisms, significantly reducing their number on intact skin.
Extremely persistent. Demonstrates continued antimicrobial activity for up to 6 hours after application.
Free of alcohol and harsh detergents. Contains surfactants to loosen dirt and debris. Softens skin with moisturizers and humectants.

Now, skin antisepsis can truly be achieved in one step. Sage's non-abrasive, textured cloth distributes a uniform dose of CHG to the skin. It provides a skin-friendly yet effective scrub to remove debris and organic matter, while allowing CHG to cover the area to be prepped.

Delivers a uniform dose of CHG. Each cloth contains 500mg.
No drips, runs or pooling associated with other skin prep products. · Large 7.5 in. x 7.5 in. cloth makes it easier to prep body contours and hard-to-reach areas.
