Title: Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.05% Solution (100ml)
Description:
Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.05% solution is a broad-spectrum antiseptic for topical use, effective against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This 100ml solution is ideal for wound and burn care, treating infected skin abrasions and fissures, and disinfecting medical instruments (at 70°C) and non-heat-sensitive equipment.
Key Applications:
- Wound & Burn Treatment: Effectively cleanses and disinfects wounds and burns, promoting healing.
- Skin Infection Control: Treats infected skin abrasions, cracks, and other minor skin infections.
- Medical Instrument Sterilization: Sterilizes medical instruments at 70°C. (Note: This is not a replacement for standard sterilization procedures.)
- Surface Disinfection: Disinfects surfaces of medical equipment that cannot withstand heat sterilization, including thermometers.
Mechanism of Action:
Chlorhexidine gluconate exhibits both bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties depending on concentration. At 0.05%, it demonstrates fungicidal activity within 10 minutes at 22°C. It’s effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Treponema spp., Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas spp., Chlamydia spp., and Ureaplasma spp. Virucidal action (against lipophilic viruses) is observed at concentrations of 0.01-1%. Note that its sporicidal activity is enhanced at elevated temperatures. The solution maintains activity (though slightly reduced) in the presence of blood, pus, and other organic matter. Following application, a residual bactericidal effect remains on the skin.
Benefits:
- Broad-spectrum antimicrobial action
- Easy application and rapid absorption
- Effective against a wide range of microorganisms
- Maintains residual activity on the skin
- Suitable for various skin conditions, including inflammation, wounds, and burns
