A method of preparing an antimicrobial delivery device, comprising:

• loading a resilient porous material with an antimicrobial loading solution including a liquid carrier and from 0.5 wt % to 10 wt % of an antimicrobial compound;
• freeze-drying the resilient porous material containing the antimicrobial loading solution to remove liquid carrier from the resilient porous material forming a resilient porous applicator loaded with a freeze-dried antimicrobial, wherein the resilient porous applicator includes a fluid-receiving surface and a skin contact surface;
• attaching the fluid-receiving surface of the resilient porous applicator to a fluid channeling body attachment surface of the fluid channeling body, the fluid channeling body including (i) a fluid inlet positioned at a channel fitting that is connectable to a fluid delivery device, and (ii) a fluid outlet positioned at the fluid channeling body attachment surface to provide an opening for delivery fluid to enter the resilient porous applicator and reconstitute the antimicrobial compound within the resilient porous applicator.

A method of delivering an antimicrobial compound to a skin surface, comprising:

• connecting a delivery device to an inlet of a fluid channeling body of an antimicrobial delivery device, wherein the fluid channeling body includes a fluid outlet, and wherein the antimicrobial delivery device further includes a resilient porous applicator carrying a freeze-dried antimicrobial positioned at the fluid outlet;
• flowing a delivery fluid from the delivery device through the fluid channeling body and into the resilient porous applicator to form an antimicrobial solution that includes an antimicrobial compound formed from the freeze-dried antimicrobial which is reconstituted in the delivery fluid and carried by the resilient porous applicator, and
• applying the antimicrobial solution to a skin surface by applying mechanical pressure to the resilient porous applicator against the skin surface.
