Features & Benefits:
- Broad Spectrum: Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) is effective against Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria as well as fungi and yeasts.
- Effectiveness: In the presence of blood: CHG continues to be effective in the presence of organic substances, unlike iodine, which is inactivated under these conditions.
- High LOG 10 Reduction: CHG strongly interacts with the negatively charged bacterial cell, achieving an exceptionally high reduction in microbial counts in the skin.
- Persistence: CHG chemically binds to the epithelial surface of the skin, thus creating a persistence and residual effect not seen in alcohol, iodine or other skin disinfectants.
- Non-Toxic: It is well documented that there is a negligible potential for absorbtion through intact skin. CHG is not intended for use on or around the eyes or ears. When used as directed, CHG is a very safe antimicrobial.
- Fast Acting: CHG acts quickly, a property that is critical for effective infection control.
