Hibiclens: The Leader in Antiseptic Skin Cleansers
Hibiclens antiseptic skin cleanser, by Mölnlycke, has been a mainstay in hospitals and trusted by healthcare professionals for more than 50 years. Hibiclens contains 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), which kills bacteria and prevents infection, and it is widely used for preoperative skin preparation and surgical hand scrubbing. Because of its gentle formula, it can be used for patient and caregiver hand cleansing and in acute care facilities for antimicrobial skin cleansing. Hibiclens is available without a prescription and safe for in-home caregiver use. The following are some key features:
- Cleans fast and keeps working longer: Hibiclens begins killing germs as soon as it is applied to the skin, but unlike standard soaps, it continues to kill microorganisms after washing.
- Bonds to the skin after washing: It works by bonding to the skin and creating a protective layer that continues to kill bacteria after use. Patients and caregivers alike receive extended protection for up to six hours.
- Provides gentle protection: Hibiclens is gentle enough to be used daily and rinses off easily without leaving any uncomfortable residue. Its formula is non-drying and offers protection that does not irritate the skin. That's why it's used in so many clinical environments where frequent washing is a protocol.
- Offers persistent and far-reaching protection: Hibiclens is used in hospitals and clinics all over the world and is valued for its effectiveness against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a difficult-to-treat staph infection.
