I believe there are currently 2 companies who have chloraprep pads on the market. They are packaged just like alcohol pads. The 1st company's name does not come to mind, but the second is PDI. Not sure of the cost yet, our sales rep is suppose to get back to us on that. Does anyone know if the current reccomendations for peripheral lines is also chloraprep/chlorhexidine? Or just the recommended skin prep for central line placement and care.
