Hibiwash® is your trusted partner in helping prevent infections, promote skin’s integrity and save time before performing surgical procedures. It contains 4% Chlorhexidine Gluconate for a wide range of antimicrobial activity
Hibiwash has been reformulated to be a more sustainable product, using fewer raw materials and less energy in its production. The removal of colour, fragrance and traces of soya oil makes it less likely to create skin irritation or an allergic reaction and has the potential of an increased compliance. It also contains emollients and it is gentle on the skin even with frequent use.
Surgical site infections (SSI) present a considerable challenge for healthcare systems across the world, including in the UK, and have a substantial impact on patients and healthcare professionals. Despite clear evidence and guidelines on how to reduce the risk of these infections on a global, regional and national basis – and the fact that research shows up to 60% of SSIs are preventable
Progress has been made in recent years, yet more than 5% of patients undergoing a surgical procedure still develop an SSI
