Usage

Hibiclens Surgical Scrub is intended for pre‑operative hand washing and surgical hand preparation. The solution is applied according to established infection control protocols: healthcare workers should wet their hands and forearms, apply an adequate amount of Hibiclens, and scrub for the recommended duration, typically 2‑3 minutes, ensuring coverage of all surfaces. After scrubbing, the solution is rinsed thoroughly with water, and hands are dried with a sterile towel. This routine effectively reduces transient and resident flora, providing a critical barrier against surgical site infections.

The product is suitable for a wide range of clinical settings, including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, dental offices, and veterinary clinics where stringent hand hygiene is essential. Its large‑volume packaging minimizes the need for frequent refills, supporting continuous workflow and reducing downtime. Additionally, the formulation is compatible with standard dispensers and can be integrated into existing hand‑washing stations without modification.
