Hibiscrub Skin Cleanser 250ml

Containing 4% w/v chlorhexidine gluconate, Hibiscrub is effective against a wide range of microbes, including several strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast, fungi and viruses, and reduces bacterial load more efficiently than povidone iodine ^1 2. Hibiscrub has also been shown to significantly decrease the risk of hospital-associated S aureus infections by up to 60% when used in combination with a nasal antibiotic. 

Hibiscrub is not absorbed into the skin, but binds to it to form a protective layer that kills bacteria within one minute, and continues to do so for up to six hours after application.  Unlike povidone iodine, Hibiscrub is not inactivated by bodily fluids.

Hibiscrub has been dermatologically tested, and is proven to be gentle on the skin, even with frequent use. This is significant because repeated application of Hibiscrub has been shown to increase its antimicrobial efficacy.

• Wide range of applications across infection control protocols
• Fast acting with a long-lasting effect of up to six hours
• Tough against microbes - gentle to the skin 

• Wash your face with undiluted Hibiscrub, especially around the nose avoiding the eyes and ears.
• With a clean sponge, working downwards, paying attention to your armpits
• Continue to wash downwards, paying attention to the groin area. 

Please read the patient information leaflet before use.

Avoid contact with brain, meninges and middle ear. If Hibiscrub comes into contact with the eyes, wash out immediately and thoroughly with water. In patients with head or spinal injuries or a perforated ear drum, the benefit of use in pre-operative should be evaluated against the risk of contact.
