Unapplied Changes
Clinisept+ Skin, the undisputed skin prep and aftercare of choice of the aesthetics industry, is expanding its reach into the surgical arena with many of the UK’s leading surgeons now selecting Clinisept+ over traditional chlorhexidine and iodine-based chemistries.
A catalyst for this growth has been the recent withdrawal of Unisept, a chlorhexidine solution manufactured by Molnlycke, which has been used as a theatre skin prep for many years.
Clinisept+ Skin has been hailed as an ideal replacement for Unisept and many surgeons are now making the switch. In fact, as opposed to just replacing Unisept, Clinisept+ offers significant advantages that make it a far more appealing proposition.
Post-procedure
While Clinisept+ provides superior antimicrobial protection, it is its complete skin compatibility, however, that is leading to a change of practice. Once a procedure has been completed, Clinisept+ can be used to wipe over the skin to clean the area without causing any sensitivity or irritation owing to it being noncytotoxic— meaning there is no need to use a separate saline solution to wipe down after the procedure.
Clinisept+ also offers one further significant benefit to patients once they leave surgery. When used as an aftercare to keep the area clean, Clinisept+ forms the perfect environment for skin to heal rapidly—leading to significantly reduced patient down time and protection against complications. As well as using Clinisept+ in theatre, many surgeons therefore also supply their patients with a 100ml bottle of Clinisept+ Skin to use at home following a procedure.
ResultsNora Nugent, Vice President of BAAPS, uses Clinisept+ in this manner for labiaplasty procedures and reports excellent results. She comments, “It is now routine for my patients to use Clinisept+ to maintain good wound hygiene without causing any irritation and patients give very positive feedback”.
Clinisept+ Skin is available from Wigmore in 490ml bottles for use in theatre and 100ml atomising spray bottles for patients to use at home. For more product information visit cliniseptplus.com, or to purchase Contact Customer Service on 020 7514 0150 or email orders@wigmoremedical.com
