At a glance

Chlorhexidine Gluconate + Isopropyl Alcohol Hand Rub is a rapid acting wide spectrum microbicidal preparation used for disinfecting hands of doctors, nurses and personnel, disinfecting surgical instruments, disinfecting skin prior to surgery, and disinfecting wound dressings.

Indications
  • Hand disinfection (Doctors, Nurses & Personnel)
  • Surgical instrument disinfection
  • Pre-surgical skin disinfection
  • Wound dressing disinfection
  • Cleaning contaminated materials
Pharmacology

At physiologic pH, chlorhexidine salts dissociate and release the positively charged chlorhexidine cation. The bactericidal effect is a result of the binding of this cationic molecule to negatively charged bacterial cell walls. At low concentrations of chlorhexidine, this results in a bacteriostatic effect; at high concentrations, membrane disruption results in cell death. Isopropyl alcohol evaporates quickly and aids in disinfection by denaturing bacterial proteins.

Dosage

Hand disinfection: Take approximately 3 ml on hand and scrub the entire surface of both hands until dry.

Surgical instrument disinfection: Take approximately 5 ml in a clean pot and immerse instruments for 2 minutes.

Skin disinfection (pre-surgery): Take approximately 3 ml with cotton and scrub on the skin until dry.

Wound/wound dressing disinfection: Take approximately 3 ml with cotton and scrub on the wound until dry.
