Abstract
A method for the preparation of a patient's skin prior to surgery includes applying a volume of an antiseptic solution to the skin surface prior to surgery in an amount effective to reduce bacteria on the skin surface; and allowing the antiseptic solution to stand on the skin surface for less than three minutes before commencing surgery. The antiseptic solution includes a biguanide and benzyl alcohol, and is comparable to an antiseptic solution containing at least 60% isopropyl alcohol or at least 60% ethyl alcohol at reducing bacteria.
