  • Title: Chlorhexidine in methanol for the preoperative cleansing of surgeons' hands: a clinical trial.
    Author: Murie JA, Macpherson SG.
    Journal: Scott Med J; 1980 Oct; 25(4):309-11. PubMed ID: 7010593.
    Abstract:
    A clinical trial has shown that a technique of preoperative hand disinfection using a methanolic solution of chlorhexidine is faster, cheaper and more acceptable to users than the conventional aqueous detergent chlorhexidine preoperative scrub regime. The wound infection rate in general surgical patients was not influenced by the method used.
