In accordance with the new guideline, Profend swabsticks proactively defend surgical from infections related to <em>Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)<\/em> or Methicillin-Resistant\u00a0<em>Staphylococcus aureus<\/em>\u00a0(MRSA).<\/p>\n<p>To help reduce this risk, PVP-I provides a broad-spectrum antiseptic that has been proven effective in reducing both\u00a0<em>S. aureus<\/em> and MRSA with no known bacterial resistance, an added advantage over the widely used nasal antibiotic mupirocin. Profend swabsticks are pre-saturated with 10% w\/w PVP-I that can be used for nasal decolonization of almost all patients. The Profend Nasal Decolonization Kits come in sets of four swabs applied for just fifteen seconds each for a total application time of 60 seconds. When administered by a clinician in compliance with manufacturer\u2019s instructions, this procedure kills 99.7% of S. aureus at 10 minutes and 99.9% at 12 hours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ortoday.com\/aorn-recommends-nasal-decolonization-with-pvp-i\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Read<\/strong><strong> the article<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OR Today Magazine recently published an article entitled AORN Recommends Nasal Decolonization with PVP-I, which discusses the Association of periOperative&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6881,"featured_media":2562,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,25,34],"tags":[77,78,79,80,81],"class_list":["post-2561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-healthcare","category-in-the-news","tag-aorn-recommendations","tag-defend-with-profend","tag-healthcare-news","tag-nasal-decolonization","tag-profend"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.7 -
