Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) is an antiseptic that helps reduce bacteria that can cause infection, including MRSA. Sage's 2% CHG cloths contain an FDA-approved formula that stays on your skin where it’s needed most. Ordinary bottled CHG soaps require rinsing in the shower. With Sage 2% CHG Cloths, none of the bacteria-fighting ingredient goes down the drain! <br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /><br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /><br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /><h1 aria-level="0" class="bdyhdrShop" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0">Easy skin Preparation</h1>
Our soft cloths comfortably conform to body contours to thoroughly coat skin with our CHG formula. There's no need for a tub, shower or additional water. There's never been an easier way to prepare skin before surgery, especially if you have mobility limitations. <br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /><br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /><a aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" onclick="Javascript:window.open('http://www.shopsageproducts.com/labels/9707.htm', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,width=650,height=600')" href="#"><img aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" border="0" alt="View label" src="https://www.nexternal.com/sage/images/viewlabel.jpg" width="112" height="24" /></a> </td>

Each year, thousands of patients contract surgical site infections, resulting in greater likelihood of being readmitted to the hospital and spending time in an intensive care unit.1 Preparing your skin before surgery helps address a known risk factor for surgical site infections—microorganisms, or bugs, on the skin.2 In fact, most surgical site infections come from bacteria already found on a patient's skin. MRSA, VRE and Acinetobacter are just some of the bugs found on a patient's skin that can cause surgical site infections. <br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /><br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" />Be proactive to prevent surgical site infections. Ask your doctor about preparing your skin to prevent a potential infection. Put your mind at ease with Sage 2% CHG Cloths. <br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /><br aria-level="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-setsize="0" /></td>
