What is Hibiwash 250ml?

Hibiwash 250ml is an antimicrobial preparation containing 4% chlorhexidine gluconate. It is intended for pre-operative surgical hand disinfection, antiseptic hand washing on the ward, and pre- and post-operative skin antisepsis for patients undergoing elective surgery. This pack contains 250ml.

Chlorhexidine gluconate has a wide range of antimicrobial activity and has been used for many decades in hospitals. It is not absorbed into the skin but binds to it, forming a protective layer that continues to work for a long period after application, and unlike povidone iodine it is not inactivated by bodily fluids.
