The preparation of the skin with antiseptics, helps mechanically clean the surface of the skin to be subjected to surgical intervention, removing fat, sweat, dead cells and kill bacteria that are in the skin. It has been shown that 2% chlorhexidine in solution with 70% isopropyl alcohol has greater activity than chlorhexidine in aqueous solution. The constant use of triclosan causes resistance of some microorganisms on some antibiotics.It has been shown that 0.5% of triclosan in 60% alcohol isopropyl chlorhexidine is more effective than alcohol. The aim of the study is to know if 2% chlorhexidine has more residual effect than triclosan 1%, both antiseptic diluted in 70% isopropyl alcohol.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Healthy adult volunteers\n* Volunteers who have completed the stabilization phase of skin flora.\n* Volunteers who does not taken a shower or bath 24 hours before the test.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Volunteers with a score below 100 Colony Forming Unit per square centimeter (CFU/cm2) of forearm skin surface in the control after the stabilization of the skin flora.\n* History of skin allergies or atopy, as well as reactions to alcohol, soaps, iodine, chlorine or latex.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01762904', 'briefTitle': 'Residual Effect of Chlorhexidine-alcohol Compared to Triclosan-alcohol', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Universidad de Guanajuato'}, 'officialTitle': 'Residual Effect of Chlorhexidine 2% / Isopropyl Alcohol 70% Compared to Triclosan 1% / Isopropyl Alcohol 70%', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '385-12'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Whole group of 135 units of measurement', 'description': "The arm is composed of 135 units of measurement, it means, 540 determinations to test 2% chlorhexidine gluconate in 70% isopropyl alcohol and 1% triclosan in 70% isopropyl alcohol and two controls.\n\nThe principal unit of measurement it will be four determinations of bacterial counts in a subject for antiseptics and controls to test each of the application sites, and determination as to each separately sampling for each area for each antiseptic forearm.
