Chlorascrub™ is a preoperative and preinjection(1) skin preparation with a unique 3.15 percent w/v chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)/70 percent v/v isopropyl alcohol (IPA) formulation.

The Chlorascrub™ In-service Training Program from PDI is a comprehensive program that facilitates product usage training and continuing education. Some of the key educational tools in the program include a user guide DVD, a clinical compendium, a PowerPoint presentation, instructional wall charts and other useful tools.
