When is the Profend® Nasal Antiseptic Kit used?

The Profend Nasal Antiseptic Kit can be used on patients who have tested positive for S. aureus. As an alternative to a “test and treat” strategy, the ease and speed of application and economical design make Profend suitable for universal decolonization of all patients as well, saving time and money spent on patient testing. Regardless of decolonization strategy, Profend has proven efficacy—in a study of healthy volunteers, the Profend Nasal Antiseptic Kit reduced S. aureus by 99.7% in just 10 minutes.* For pre-operative use, clinicians can choose to apply the product to the patient at least 10 minutes prior to surgery depending on hospital protocol.
