Antiseptic, Antimicrobial Skin Cleanser, Liquid

Specification Description
Model 302340575164
UPC 302340575164
Directions Skin wound and general skin cleansing: Wounds which involve more than the superficial layers of the skin should not be routinely treated with Hibiclens. Hibiclens should not be used for repeated general skin cleansing of large body areas except in those patients whose underlying condition makes it necessary to reduce the bacterial population of the skin. To use, thoroughly rinse the area to be cleansed with water. Apply the minimum amount of Hibiclens necessary to cover the skin or wound area and wash gently. Rinse again thoroughly. Surgical hand scrub: Wet hands and forearms with water. Scrub for 3 minutes with about 5ml of Hibiclens and a wet brush, paying particular attention to the nails, cuticles and interdigital spaces. A separate nail cleaner may be used. Rinse thoroughly. Wash for an additional 3 minutes with 5ml of Hibiclens and rinse under running water. Dry thoroughly. Personnel hand wash: Wet hands with water. Dispense about 5ml of Hibiclens into cupped hands and wash in a vigorous manner for 15 seconds. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Preoperative skin preparation: Apply Hibiclens liberally to surgical site and swab for at least 2 minutes. Dry with a sterile towel. Repeat procedure for an additional 2 minutes and dry with a sterile towel.
Ingredients Active Ingredients: Chlorhexidine Gluconate (4%)Inactive Ingredients: Fragrance, Isopropyl Alcohol, Water Purified, Red 40, Other Ingredients:
Product Details Prevents skin infection thereby reducing the risk of cross-infection. Has antiseptic activity and a persistent animicrobial effect with rapid bactericidal activity against a wide range of microorganisms.
Warnings WarningsFor external use only. Keep out of eyes, ears, and mouth. Hibiclens should not be used as a preoperative skin preparation of the face or head. Misuse of Hibiclens has been reported to cause serious and permanent eye injury when it has been permitted to enter and remain in the eye during surgical procedures. If Hibiclens should contact these areas, rinse out promptly and thoroughly with water.  Avoid contact with meninges.  Hibiclens should not be used by persons who have a sensitivity to it or its components.  Chlorhexedine gluconate has been reported to cause deafness when instilled in the middle ear through perforated ear drums.  Irritation, sensitization and generalized allergic reactions have been reported with chlorhexedine-containing products, especially in the genital areas. If adverse reactions occur, discontinue use immediately and if severe, contact a physician. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, seek professional assistance or contact a poison control center immediately. Store at controlled room temperature 68°-77° F.

Great Product. Wish I had bought sooner

"I bought this product to help control / limit acne. If I only knew that I would have a long and hard battle with MRSA just weeks after I purchased it. Doctors prescribed many drugs, ointments, washes, etc. to help me control the infection, but Hibiclens was and is my favorite. Now I use it as a preventative measure. Best not to over use if not infected and are not in the medical field. Follow directions and..." Read Full Review »

Beware of Clothing Stains with Hibiclens

"Beware that Hibiclens contains a red color that can stain clothing. The pump nozzle tends to clog with dried solution and if you pump hard it can send a thin squirt of stuff all over the place. Worst, if you try to get rid of the pink stain using a chlorine bleach it will suddenly turn the pink into an indelible brown stain that can never be removed. I ruined a beautiful white cotton shirt this way. I called the..." Read Full Review »
