IrriSept is the first FDA-approved wound irrigation product containing chlorhexidine gluconate. The 2-stage application system has been shown in lab studies to be effective against MRSA, Pseudomonas and other harmful bacteria. The first bottle contains 0.05% CHG, which is applied directly to the surgical site and allowed to sit for 1 minute, letting the CHG bind to proteins. After a minute, the solution is suctioned out of the wound, which is then rinsed with the second bottle containing saline. Surgeons typically mix their own versions of antibiotic and saline cocktails. This pre-packaged, readyfor-application system could improve efficiencies in the OR, according to a company rep.
