Frequently Asked Questions

• Why is Chlorhexidine preferred over standard alcohol for IV cannula insertion?
  While 70% isopropyl alcohol provides immediate bacterial kill, Chlorhexidine gluconate binds to the skin stratum corneum, providing sustained residual antimicrobial activity that continues to suppress bacterial regrowth for hours after application.
• Can individual patients buy alcohol prep pads direct to the public?
  Yes. McFarlane Medical supplies healthcare facilities, mobile nursing services, and retail home care buyers direct across Australia without requiring a trade account or minimum order spend limit.
