IrriSept is the only FDA-Cleared device that delivers a pressurized solution containing Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) for cleansing and debridement. As a final rinse, prior to closure in surgical procedures, IrriSept has the potential to help reduce SSIs and associated treatment costs. IrriSept was developed with the goal of becoming the "Standard of Care" and improving patient outcomes.

IrriSept has a wide range of activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It has demonstrated antimicrobial efficacy and persistence in laboratory testing.
