Efficacy of three different antiseptics as surgical skin preparations in dogs
Various antiseptics are available for surgical skin preparation. The objective of this new study for South Africa was to compare the antimicrobial efficacy of a 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% ethanol solution (CG+A) with that of F10 Skin Prep Solution (F10) and electrochemically activated water (EAW) when used as a surgical preparation in canine patients. One hundred sixteen dogs presented for ovariohysterectomy were enrolled in this prospective randomized clinical study very important for daily surgical practice.
