Effectiveness in preventing infections through cleansing skin and wound areas and disinfecting surgical sites.
This medication is used as an antimicrobial skin cleanser to clean normal skin and wound areas. It is also effective for hand disinfection during surgery, personal hand disinfection, and disinfecting skin at the surgical site before surgery. In other words, it helps to remove bacteria from the skin to prevent infection and is used to maintain a safe surgical environment.
1. Cleansing normal skin and wound areas: Rinse the area to be cleansed with water, apply only the minimum amount required to the skin or wound, and wipe gently. Rinse thoroughly with water. 2. Hand disinfection during surgery: Moisten hands and forearms with water. Apply 5 mL of this product to hands and up to the elbows and scrub with a brush or sponge for about 3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly under running water and repeat the process once.
This medication contains chlorhexidine, which has sterilizing and disinfecting effects. This medication should not be used in patients who have had allergic reactions to chlorhexidine. Moreover, it is safest not to use it on areas of the nervous system such as the brain, spinal cord, and ears. Caution is necessary as serious side effects can occur if used on mucosal areas such as the vagina, bladder, and mouth. Avoid direct contact with the eyes, and if it gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with clean water. Patients with allergic diseases or a family history should be cautious when using this medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid using this medication, as well as women who may become pregnant. This medication should be used externally only and should not be taken orally or administered by injection. If ingested accidentally, immediate appropriate emergency treatment is necessary. If symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, difficulty breathing, or redness occur during use, stop using it immediately and consult a healthcare professional. It is not safe to use this medication on extensive wounds or burn areas, especially in newborns and premature infants, as the risk of side effects is high. Medical instruments that have come into contact with this medication must be thoroughly cleaned, as residual soap or organic materials may reduce its sterilizing effect. When diluting, it is recommended to use clean distilled water, and the diluted solution should be made fresh daily. This medication can corrode when it comes into contact with certain metals or glass, so it should not be used on medical devices made of those materials. When storing, maintain suitable temperature and pH conditions, and do not store diluted solutions for long periods; use them immediately.
