Surgical site infections (SSI) complicate an estimated 5% of all operations performed annually in US hospitals, resulting in longer hospitalizations and higher costs. Toroprep™ is a highly effective preoperative skin preparation solution that helps reduce the risk of SSI. Combining two powerful antimicrobial agents—Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Isopropyl Alcohol—Toroprep™ offers fast-acting, broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity with a persistent effect lasting up to 6 hours post-prep. This one-step preparation is preferred for its ease of use, effective action, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional scrub-and-paint methods.
Why Choose Toroprep™ for Preoperative Skin Preparation?
- Fast-acting and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity
- Persistent efficacy up to 6 hours post-prep
- Combines Chlorhexidine Gluconate (2%) and Isopropyl Alcohol (70%) for superior skin preparation
- One-step preparation: No need for a scrub-and-paint technique
- Minimally absorbed through mature skin with rare or no skin irritation
- Proven effective in reducing the incidence of surgical sepsis
Areas of Application

- For clean, dry, residue-free surgical sites, apply with back-and-forth strokes for 30 seconds.
