Professional Disposables International (PDI)

PDI’s Profend^® Nasal Antiseptic Swabs, pre-saturated with 10% Povidone-Iodine (PVP-I), provide a fast time to efficacy against a leading risk factor for SSIs (S. aureus) in patients’ noses, without the risk of antibiotic resistance. Profend^® Swabs feature:

A unique “snap and swab” design with a dry, no-mess handle to simplify the decolonization process, offering convenience for clinicians¹.
A small and slim applicator design to enhance patient comfort during application.
A quick 60-second treatment time – up to 2.5x faster than other nasal decolonization products on the market.
Proven efficacy against S. aureus with no known pathogen resistance, as demonstrated by Houang et al. in the Journal of Clinical Pathology, thereby supporting antibiotic stewardship.
