No water hand cleaner

Originally launched in 1980, Hibisol can be used for hand disinfection both surgical and on the ward generally for aseptic procedures, as well as for the disinfection of patients’ skin prior to surgery. With chlorhexidine gluconate as the active ingredient, Hibisol is effective for up to six hours and is ideal when clean water is not available.

Mölnlycke Health Care claims that: “In the important infection control arena, Hibisol facilitates effortless efficiency amongst healthcare professionals by providing an easy to use antiseptic solution. With hospital acquired infections (HAIs) a common problem in today’s busy hospital environment and with infections such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) constantly hitting headlines, infection control is now a top priority for all NHS Trusts.”
