CHLORHEXIDINE 2%, 70% isopropyl alcohol

Therapeutic Action

Broad-spectrum antiseptic combining 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% isopropyl alcohol.

Isopropyl alcohol (70%) ensures immediate destruction of transient, resident micro-organisms on the stratum corneum

Chlorhexidine gluconate (2%) binds to the superficial layers of epidermal cells and exerts a residual (persistent) antimicrobial effect that prevents micro-organisms from multiplying.

Indications

Antisepsis of intact skin (excluding neonates)

Instructions for use

  • The coloured solution is intended for preoperative antisepsis on intact skin (better visualisation of the application area). Before the surgical incision, make sure that there is no accumulation of solution (in the skin folds, dripping...) to avoid burns when using an electrosurgical unit.
  • Swabs/wipes are intended for antisepsis of intact skin prior to IM injection (except vaccination), IV catheter insertion, venous blood sampling, lumbar puncture or IV tubing access.

Respect the drying time of the solution before an invasive procedure (let it dry completely; do not wipe it off), which is essential for the effectiveness of the product.

Precautions for Use

Contraindicated in neonates (use the 2% chlorhexidine aqueous solution).

Do not use with soap or any other class of antiseptic, e.g. polyvidone iodine (incompatibility).
