Preoperative skin disinfection, or antisepsis, aka skin prep, is a crucial step in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs). This updated, interactive, online skin prep simulator covers the scrubbing pattern, scrubbing time, drying time and draping for a ChloraPrep (2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% isopropyl alcohol) 26 ml applicator. An itemized assessment of skin prep performance with a maximum score of 100 is provided at the end of each skin prep. Development of the original skin prep simulator was funded by CareFusion.
