Effects of olanexidine gluconate on preoperative skin preparation: an experimental study in cynomolgus monkeys.

CONCLUSION: The bactericidal effects of olanexidine were comparable to those of commercial antiseptics such as chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine in non-blood-contaminated conditions. More importantly, the effect of olanexidine was hardly affected by blood unlike commercial antiseptics. Thus, it is considered that olanexidine has a favourable property for skin preparation in various types of surgical treatments. PMID: 28516852 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
