Hibiclens Patient Kit from Mölnlycke Health Have patients participate in your infection prevention program by sending them home from their pre-op visit with this skin cleansing patient kit designed to be used at home before surgery. The kit comes with a 4 oz. bottle of Hibiclens, 5 disposable cotton washcloths and a guide to general skin cleansing, including instructions on the proper way and at what time intervals to bathe or shower. The guide also has space for patient instructions. In 2008, AORN issued guidelines that recognized the use of at-home pre-operative bathing the night before and the morning of surgery, specifically with 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG). Because CHG products require several applications to attain maximum antimicrobial benefit, repeated antiseptic showers are indicated. $5, www.hibiclens.com
