CHG Skin Preparation Swab Applicator is mainly suitable for the following people:
Surgical patients: skin preparation prior to surgery to reduce the risk of surgical site infection.
Patients undergoing invasive procedures: e.g., skin disinfection prior to central venous cannulation, arterial puncture, etc.
Other patients requiring skin disinfection: e.g. patients who require skin disinfection for certain specific diseases or therapeutic conditions.

The following are general directions for use of the CHG Skin Preparation Swab Applicator:

CHG Skin Preparation Swab Applicator and Povidone Iodine each have their own characteristics of disinfection and it is not possible to simply say which one is better.
CHG is better at killing bacteria and fungi and has a longer duration of sustained bacterial inhibition, which gives it an advantage in preventing surgical site infections.
Povidone-iodine is a broad-spectrum disinfectant that is also effective in killing a wide range of pathogens.
Which one is the better disinfectant also needs to be determined based on specific use scenarios, skin conditions, and individual differences. In some cases, it may be possible to choose to use either one based on actual needs.
