· Safe and Efficient Alternative to Antibiotics: Clorox Healthcare™ Nasal Antiseptic Swabs are clinically shown to be non-irritating and well tolerated in the nares after 10 applications. They are further shown to reduce 99.4% of S. aureus at 1 hour and maintain persistence through 12 hours in an in vitro study.
· Simple and Easy to Use: Clorox Healthcare™ Nasal Antiseptic Swabs are pre-saturated, ready-to-use swabs that are applied to a patient's nostrils by a healthcare provider one hour before surgery. This method shifts the responsibility for nasal decolonization from patients to trained healthcare professionals, increasing the likelihood of compliance. Nasal Antiseptic Swabs were determined by patients to be comfortable during application and reported an overall positive experience.
No Evidence of Bacterial Resistance: There is growing evidence of resistance of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to mupirocin. High-level resistance has been associated with nasal decolonization failure. Clorox Healthcare™ Nasal Antiseptic Swabs contain povidone-iodine, an antiseptic that has broad activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This antiseptic has been in use for over 50 years and to date, studies have not shown that bacteria develop resistance to povidone-iodine.
Bringing Nasal Decolonization to Life at AORN Surgical Conference and Expo
At the AORN Surgical Conference and Expo, the largest gathering of perioperative professionals in the United States, Clorox Healthcare will bring attention to nasal decolonization as an important part of plans for SSI prevention and antibiotic stewardship through an immersive virtual reality experience. Clorox Healthcare booth (#313) attendees will be able to view a 360° video that puts them in the shoes of a healthcare provider performing nasal decolonization in a real-world setting. For those unable to attend the conference, for an optimal 360° experience, watch the video from your virtual reality headset or smartphone by visiting Clorox Healthcare's YouTube channel.
To further help AORN conference attendees understand the issue of nasal decolonization, Dr. Lyles will lead a continuing education (CE) presentation at the Clorox Healthcare booth (#313) titled, "Nasal Decolonization: Alternatives to Antibiotics." The free CE credit presentation will discuss the causes and clinical and economic impact of HAIs and SSIs, problems associated with antibiotic therapy, antiseptic alternatives to antibiotics for nasal decolonization, and best practices.
