True

Antiseptic skin preparation of the surgical site is intended to reduce the risk of postop SSI by:

Removing soil and transient microorganisms from the skin

Rapid evaporation of skin prep solutions cools the skin and kills microbes

Reducing the resident microbial count to subpathogenic levels in a short period with the least amount of tissue irritation

Inhibiting rapid, rebound growth of microorganisms
