It seems like magic, but it’s all science.

Because there's no time to waste in the OR, MERLIN™ One Step Prep Applicator works like magic. Developed during several years of in-depth research, innovation workshops and focus groups with surgeons and nurses, the MERLIN™ applicator is a surgical prep applicator that performs like no other.

Efficiency Ensured

The MERLIN™ applicator features a sponge head that allows for effortless access to the true dimensions of the body. It allows for excellent coverage of intricate areas such as fingers and toes. Once activated, the sponge head acts as a unique reservoir allowing for upside-down use—essential for prepping arms and legs. With 39mL of solution, the MERLIN™ applicator covers more territory.

Safety Maximized

The precise viscosity of the film-forming solution combined with the unique sponge head allows for immediate flow and effective control over dripping and pooling. For even greater safety, there is no glass ampoule. This allows for safe, sharps-free disposal.

Proven Efficacy

The MERLIN™ applicator holds 39mL of ExCelAP®* solution, an effective combination antiseptic. The synergistic effect of alcohol with povidone-iodine creates a fast-acting, persistent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial. When it comes to reducing infection, the MERLIN™ applicator is the preferred solution for a better way to prep.
