Brief summary:
The objective of the study is to demonstrate persistence of the CHG/IPA Prep on skin flora of the abdominal and inguinal regions of human subjects.

Detailed description:
The objective of the study is to demonstrate persistence of the CHG/IPA Prep versus a saline placebo on skin flora of the abdominal and inguinal regions of human subjects as measured by change in microbial flora relative to baseline.

Arms:
arm 1: Apply Chlorhexidine (CHG) 2% / Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) 70% for 30 seconds and allow to dry for 3 minutes. arm 2: Apply 0.9% sodium chloride with applicator for 30 seconds and allow to dry for 3 minutes. arm 3: Apply Chlorhexidine (CHG) 2% / Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) 70% for 30 seconds and allow to dry for 3 minutes. arm 4: Apply 0.9% sodium chloride with applicator for 30 seconds and allow to dry for 3 minutes.
