Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aim 1: To determine in vivo capability of AvenovaTM against common cutaneous microbial biome on human skin

Aim 2: To compare to povidone-iodine 5% solution, 4% chlorhexidine and isopropyl alcohol against AvenovaTM as a sterile skin agent

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A total of approximately 30 eligible participants will be identified with clinically-acquired information by Dr. Wendy Lee, an oculoplastic surgeon and aesthetic treatment specialist at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, during regular clinic visits.

Part One: Patients will have their skin swabbed and then cultured for various skin flora agents. The petri dish will then be swabbed with Avenova to see what percent of skin flora microbe is killed.

Part Two: Patients will have their skin divided into 4 quadrants. The area will be pre-swabbed to monitor microbe growth. Each of 4 quadrants will be cleansed for one minute with AvenovaTM , povidone-iodine 5% solution, 4% chlorhexidine and isopropyl alcohol, then swabbed to monitor for microbe growth.

The swabs will be placed in thioglycollate broth to monitor for bacterial growth. If growth if observed in the thioglycollate, the samples will be cultured on blood agar plates and the bacterial specie(s) identified.
