Surgical Scrub Based on New Technology

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 14 Aug 2002
A new surgical scrub solution is based on new technology that will allow doctors to prepare themselves for surgery much more quickly while providing the same or better efficacy as old solutions.

Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) was introduced in the 1970s and has been considered a leading active ingredient for surgical scrubs. More...
Now, new patented Trizenol technology has led to the development of a new surgical scrub for surgeons. It requires only two 90-second applications and no brush, compared to a surgical scrub brush for five to 10 minutes. By dispensing with the harsh brush and adding a moisturizing effect, hands do not hurt after scrubbing five times a day.

Trizenol is composed of three key elements: a fast-acting broad-spectrum antimicrobial ingredient, ethyl alcohol; emollients with surfactants to condition the skin and remove dirt and organic debris; and a preservative system to help prolong the antimicrobial action of alcohol. Trizenol has proven effective against multiresistant organisms as well as viruses and Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The new scrub was developed by Healthpoint Ltd. (Fort Worth, TX, USA)

"We are encouraged by the recent focus on this huge problem of hospital infection prevention,” said Shawn Gentry, of Healthpoint. "We hope to help eliminate this problem and assist hospitals and their staffs in reducing this terrible threat of infection.”
