Chlorhexidine Gluconate BP USP 200kg
Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) BP/USP is a broad-spectrum antiseptic and germicide used widely in healthcare for skin disinfection, surgical scrubs, and wound cleaning to prevent infections; it’s also a key ingredient in dental products like mouthwashes (to treat gingivitis, reduce plaque) and oral rinses. Its uses range from pre-surgical skin prep and antiseptic soaps to cosmetic biocides and preservatives, effectively killing bacteria, yeasts, and some viruses, but it must be used as directed, avoiding eyes, ears, and ingestion.
Medical & Surgical Uses:
Skin Preparation: As a skin antiseptic before surgery or inserting IVs to reduce infection risk.
Surgical Hand Scrubs: To disinfect hands of healthcare professionals.
Wound Care: For cleaning minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
Healthcare-Acquired Infections (HCAIs): Used in body washes to minimize infection risk in hospital settings.
Umbilical Cord Care: Specific formulations for newborn care.
Dental Uses:
Gingivitis Treatment: Prescribed as an oral rinse (e.g., 0.12% solution) to manage gum inflammation, redness, and bleeding.
Plaque Control: Helps reduce plaque buildup.
Oral Flora Management: Controls bacteria and yeasts in the mouth, reducing bad breath.
Other Uses:
Cosmetics: As a preservative and biocide in makeup, hair dyes, and other personal care products.
Important Considerations:
Prescription Needed: Oral rinses are often prescription-only.
Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not use in eyes, ears, or mouth (unless directed for oral rinse).
Not for Ingestion: Do not swallow.
