Primary outcomePrimary: log10 Reductions From Baseline for Each Test Parameter in CFU (Colony Forming Unit)/cm2 on Inguinal and Abdominal Sites — 3.51; 3.44; 3.15; 0.92 Average log10 reductions in CFU/cm2

No peer-reviewed publication reporting this trial's results has been linked yet. This can indicate results are unpublished — a known publication-bias signal. We re-check periodically.
Summary
Compare 2 application techniques of ChloraPrep Swabstick--3 swabsticks at once versus 3 swabsticks used sequentially. Hibiclens applied according to the manufacturer's directions. Sterile swabsticks (wetted with sterile deionizd water) applied using the same method as the ChloraPrep Swabstick.
