The dual-active formulation provides rapid broad-spectrum kill of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, MDROs, and yeasts with persistent antimicrobial activity, indicated for pre-injection and minor pre-procedural skin antisepsis.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3M SoluPrep Small Swab is a small-format pre-saturated applicator engineered for hand-held single-site skin antisepsis prior to venipuncture, peripheral IV cannulation, capillary blood sampling, port access, and minor dermatological procedures. The combination of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% isopropyl alcohol delivers immediate IPA-mediated bactericidal action and prolonged CHG-mediated residual activity that binds to the stratum corneum, in line with CDC, SHEA, and APIC guidance for skin antisepsis prior to vascular access and invasive device insertion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach swab carries 1.6 mL of antiseptic solution and is supplied as a sealed individually wrapped sterile unit packaged 50 swabs per dispensing box. The applicator is intended for single use and must be discarded after a single skin-prep cycle. Allow the applied solution to air-dry completely before needle insertion or skin incision; tabulated dry-time is required for the CHG bactericidal effect and to avoid alcohol-related fire risk during electrosurgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolventum (formerly 3M Health Care)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3M™ SoluPrep™ Small Swab\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCatalogue \/ REF\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102.03\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eActive Ingredients\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChlorhexidine gluconate 2% w\/v + Isopropyl alcohol 70% v\/v\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume per Swab\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.6 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTint\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTinted (orange) for visual application coverage check\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSterility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile (gamma or filter sterilised), single use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegulatory\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS FDA OTC Drug Monograph (NDA 21-669); CE Mark (EU MDR 2017\/745); ISO 13485 manufacture; HSA Singapore registered medical device; complies with EN 13727 and EN 1276 antimicrobial-efficacy standards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStore at 15–30 °C; protect from heat and ignition sources; do not use after expiry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePackaging\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 individually wrapped sterile swabs per dispensing box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClinical Indications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin antisepsis prior to peripheral intravenous cannulation, midline insertion, and capillary blood sampling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin preparation prior to subcutaneous injection (insulin, anticoagulant, vaccination) and intramuscular injection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntisepsis of central venous access device hubs, needle-free connectors, and Y-sites prior to access (per institutional scrub-the-hub protocol)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin preparation prior to lancet capillary sampling, fingerstick glucose, and arterial blood gas puncture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-procedural skin antisepsis for minor dermatology and aesthetic procedures (small-area applications)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin antisepsis at port-a-cath access sites and implanted-device entry points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy CHG\/IPA rather than alcohol-only or povidone-iodine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2% CHG combined with 70% IPA is the antiseptic of choice for skin antisepsis prior to vascular access in the CDC HICPAC Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections guideline and in EPIC3 and SHEA compendium recommendations.
