Scrub-Stat Surgical Hand Scrub

Before every procedure, surgical staff need a hand antiseptic they can trust to reduce microbial counts and keep them low throughout a case. Ecolab Scrub-Stat delivers exactly that: a 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) surgical hand scrub formulated for the persistent, cumulative antimicrobial action that operating rooms and procedural suites depend on.

The featured product in this collection is the Ecolab Scrub-Stat Surgical Hand Scrub, CHG 4%, 4 oz liquid bottle (non-sterile, ref 6030409). CHG at 4% concentration is a long-established standard for pre-surgical hand and forearm preparation because it binds to the skin and continues suppressing bacterial regrowth well after rinsing — an advantage over agents that offer only immediate kill. The liquid formulation lathers readily for a thorough scrub and rinses clean without leaving a heavy residue.

A few points buyers commonly ask about: Scrub-Stat is intended for surgical hand and forearm antisepsis rather than routine handwashing, and it is used with a scrub brush or sponge as part of your facility's prep protocol. The compact 4 oz bottle suits single-user dispensing, personal kits, and controlled inventory in smaller procedure areas, while its non-sterile designation is appropriate for skin antisepsis where the product contacts intact skin. As with all CHG products, avoid contact with eyes, ears, and mucous membranes.

If you're comparing scrub systems, our E-Z Scrub collection offers pre-loaded brush-sponge options, and Cal Stat Plus provides alcohol-based hand antisepsis for waterless applications. For antimicrobial cleansing beyond the surgical suite, see Bacti-Stat.
