Product Information

Full details

Hibiwash Antibacterial Skin Cleanser is a comprehensive antimicrobial wash designed for pre- and post-operative patient care, helping to prevent infections and maintain skin health. Its key benefit is providing broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity through 4% Chlorhexidine Gluconate, which binds to the skin, offering a lasting protective layer. A potential consideration is the need to avoid contact with the brain, meninges, and middle ear.

Can Hibiwash be used daily?

Hibiwash is designed for pre- and post-operative care. For daily hygiene, consult with your healthcare provider for recommendations on appropriate skin cleansers.

Is Hibiwash safe for children and the elderly?

The normal adult dose is appropriate for children and elderly patients unless a physician recommends otherwise. Always follow specific medical advice.

What should I do if Hibiwash is ingested?

This product is for external use only. If ingested, do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention and bring the product container or label.

Hibiwash does not contain alcohol. Its primary active ingredient is Chlorhexidine Gluconate.

Troubleshooting

Product causes skin irritation.

Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. While formulated to be gentle, individual sensitivities can occur. Ensure the product is rinsed off thoroughly after use.

Product accidentally enters the eyes.

Immediately flush eyes with copious amounts of clean water for at least 10-15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Reduced lathering or effectiveness.

Ensure the correct amount (as per usage instructions) is used. Hibiwash effectiveness is not diminished by organic matter, so performance should remain consistent.
