A theatre grade alcohol based hand sanitizer and cleaner that is formulated for use in medical, healthcare and veterinary applications.

The formulation containing Chlorhexidine gluconate, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that exerts its properties by disrupting microbial cell membranes, is highly effective as a disinfectant and terminal sanitizer against bacteria, bacterial spores, and fungi from hand transfer of viruses, fungi and bacteria.

Chlorhexidine is effective against a wide range of Gram negative and Gram positive vegetative bacteria, yeasts, dermatophyte fungi and lipophilic viruses. It is inactive against bacterial spores except at elevated temperatures.

Because of its cationic nature, Chlorhexidine binds strongly to skin, mucosa and other tissues and is thus very poorly absorbed. No detectable blood levels have been found in man following oral use and percutaneous absorption, if it occurs at all, is insignificant.

Pre-operative surgical hand disinfection : Dispense 5ml of sanitizer and spread thoroughly over both hands and forearms, rubbing vigorously for 30 seconds. When dry apply a further 5ml and repeat same procedure.

Antiseptic hand disinfection on the ward : Dispense 5ml of sanitizer and spread thoroughly over both hands and wrists, rubbing vigorously for 30 seconds or until dry.

Disinfection of patients skin prior to surgery : Apply sanitizer to a sterile swab and rub thoroughly over the operation site for a minimum of 2 minutes.

It is also used for preparation of the skin prior to invasive procedures such as venepuncture.
