Surgical Prep - Wound Site Preparation

July 4th, 2009
  • There are several products in the pharmaceutical marketplace that are spread on / around a wound site prior to surgery ( eg Chloraprep, Duraprep). Their purpose is to kill bacteria. And they contain antimicrobials to achieve this. How large a marketplace is this (US only) in terms of dollars spent specifically on surgical preps for wound site preparation? What are the different surgical preps in the marketplace - specifically for wound site preparation?


  • Hello again Superg327, I have been working on your question and although I was not able to locate dollar figures, I did uncover some relevant information for you. Please let me know via the CLARIFICATION feature if my findings would serve your purpose and I will post them as your official answer.
