The 3M Solu-I.V. Antiseptic Prep Swabstick (102.02) is engineered for healthcare environments that demand consistent, fast, and reliable skin antisepsis. Combining 0.5% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, this dual-action formula delivers both immediate and persistent antimicrobial protection.
Used extensively in hospitals, surgical centers, IV therapy departments, EMS units, and outpatient clinics, this swabstick supports best practices in infection control and contributes to safer patient outcomes.
