The Profend Nasal Decolonization Kit can be used on patients who have tested positive for S. aureus and/or MRSA. 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, 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 Decolonization Kit reduced S. aureus by 99.7% at 1 hour and 99.9%* at 12 hours post-application.With this in mind, for pre-operative use, clinicians may choose to apply the product to the patient 1-2 hours prior to surgery depending on hospital protocol.

Perioperative nurses who care for patients prior to surgery and nursing staff in other areas of the hospital,ie. ICU, are the primary users of the Profend Nasal Decolonization Kit. Profend offers unique features valued by clinicians – a preference study showed that over 90% of nurses preferred Profend over other PVP-I nasal antiseptic products.

The Profend Nasal Decolonization Kit can be used anywhere in a healthcare facility where there are patients who may be nasally colonized with S. aureus or MRSA and therefore have an elevated risk of developing an SSI or other HAIs.
