"Darouiche said the two preps both work against a variety of germs but
the newer blue-tinted antiseptic works quicker and longer. It costs more

expense is outweighed by the thousands saved by preventing costly
infections."
As someone who suffered through a post-op infection, I wish this stuff
had been in use when I had my operation.
