Preoperative Preparation Study

BioScience Laboratories performs preoperative preparation studies per the Tentative Final Monograph, pp. 31450-31452 and the ASTM’s Standard Method E 1173.  Following the sampling for baseline, test sites are treated with a product according to procedures and for a period of time specified by protocol. After times of exposure specified by protocol, cylinder-sampling is performed.  As a general rule, all sites of product application are assessed visually for signs of skin irritation at each sampling time, and if present, it is documented.
