General Skin Cleanser

The StartClean Cleansing Program.

Cleansers only work if your patients use them.

That’s why the StartClean cleansing program uses an individual patient reminder system to help you and your patients improve preoperative bathing compliance.


It’s the next best care to being there.

The Kit
Each kit includes one bottle of 4% CHG, three single-use sponges and a patient education template.
The Reminder
Patients receive a text, email or voice mail reminding them to use their antiseptic cleanser prior to surgery.
Patient Education
The additional reminder should help patients adhere to your bathing instructions prior to surgery.*
