What is Hibiwash used for?

Hibiwash is an antimicrobial wash used to cleanse the skin and reduce microorganisms before or after certain medical procedures.

Its recognised uses include:

• Pre-operative surgical hand disinfection
• Antiseptic hand washing on hospital wards
• Pre-operative skin antisepsis for patients undergoing elective surgery
• Post-operative skin cleansing where advised by a healthcare professional

Chlorhexidine binds strongly to the skin, providing antimicrobial activity after washing and making Hibiwash a commonly used product in infection-prevention routines.

How is Hibiwash used?

The method of use depends on why the product is being used.

For antiseptic hand washing, the hands and forearms are wetted before Hibiwash is applied, washed over the skin and then rinsed thoroughly.

For pre-operative whole-body cleansing, Hibiwash may be used in the bath or shower according to the instructions provided by a healthcare professional or hospital.

Always follow the product leaflet or clinical instructions supplied with the product.

Who is it suitable for?

Hibiwash is suitable for patients and healthcare professionals requiring antimicrobial skin cleansing, including before surgery or as part of clinical hand-hygiene procedures.

It is intended for external use only.

Avoid contact with the eyes, ears, mouth and other mucous membranes. Hibiwash should not be swallowed or used inside body cavities. People with a known allergy to chlorhexidine or any of the product ingredients should not use it.

If Hibiwash comes into contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek appropriate medical advice.
