What prep is necessary for your skin before you go in for surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin prep: Although there are a few different methods, skin preparation using a betadine solution is still the standard of care for cleansing the skin prior to surgery or medical procedures. Betadine has few risks to the patient when it is used appropriately.
