7 The mean change in contrast levels after application of iodine-based (DuraPrep) and chlorhexidine-based (ChloraPrep) solutions. The mean change in contrast levels after application of iodine-based (DuraPrep) and chlorhexidine-based (ChloraPrep) solutions. The chlorhexidine-based solution erased surgical site markings completely compared with the iodine-based solution. The error bars represent 95% confidence intervals of the mean. Savyasachi C.

8 Frequency of random three-letter initials identified correctly after application of iodine-based (DuraPrep) and chlorhexidine-based (ChloraPrep) solutions. Frequency of random three-letter initials identified correctly after application of iodine-based (DuraPrep) and chlorhexidine-based (ChloraPrep) solutions. Surgeons were able to correctly identify initials more frequently after the application of the iodine-based solution than after application of the chlorhexidine-based solution. Savyasachi C.
