Hi Georgie- I haven’t been able to find a non-scrub chx product anywhere for a while. Do you know of any brands that I could search? I probably won’t be able to order it in due to restrictions by my employer, but I can try! Thanks

Probably should have said that the NON-scrub version at 5% is mixed with 70% isopropyl alcohol at 1:10 dilution is the recipe to create your own skin prep solution. I believe!!!

We use chloraprep - they come in different sizes so are very useful from IV prep up to large ones for surgical prep.

We just use alcohol wipes for IVs amd blood sampling (https://www.imseuro.co.uk/alcohol-swabs). I prefer to wipe with chlorhex then wipe with an alcohol swab for IVs, or if the patient is particularly dirty. For surgical sites, we use ChloraPrep as our final prep. We get them from Invicta (http://www.invictavet.com/chloraprep.html), who will provide free on-site CPD.

This is a really challenging area as these products are hard to market legally for vet use due to biocide regulations. Which is why they tend to get discontinued or disappear.... it's complicated!! BUT.... there are some around....

Try Duggans! .....https://dvs-group.paperturn-view.com/hygiene-brochure-2024?pid=ODg8848117&v=5

Iodosept might be a good alternative if you can't find CHX version?
