Abstract

Background and Objective: Septi scrub is a new product based on chlorhexidine 4%, which  is produced for  surgical scrub in Iran. This study aimed to compare the disinfecting effect of Povidone Iodine and Septiscrub in surgical scrub.

Material and Methods: this crossover experimental study, one-week interval, was conducted to compare Povidone Iodine and Septiscrub. Three samples for  microbial cultures were obtained  from each  participant before, shortly and 40 minutes after scrubbing.

Results: The findings showed that the effect of Povidone iodine and Septiscrub solutions was significant on microbial growth of measure (P< 0.05). In both solutions, there was a significant difference in the rate of microbial growth between before  and  after scrub stages (P< 0.05). But between immediately after scrub and 40 minutes after  was not significant (P< 0.05).

Conclusion: given the equal effect of two solutions and lesser side effect of Septiscub , it is recommended that Septiscrub  be used instead of  Povidone iodine 7.5%.

Keywords: Surgical Scrub; Povidone Iodine; Septi Scrub.
