The purpose of this study is to find out if presurgical antiseptic preparations affect how well surgical drapes adhere to skin.
Adhesive incise drapes are often used to provide a physical sterile barrier between the surrounding skin and the open wound at the beginning of a surgery. This study sought to determine the effect of presurgical skin antiseptic preparation on the adhesion of various incise drapes to the skin.
