Chlorhex S

Chlorhex S is an effective antibacterial skin cleanser-scrub. It is used for the removal of bacteria from the hands and other skin areas prior to veterinary surgery and routine procedures involving the application or removal of dressings and stitches. It provides a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity and sustained residual effect due to binding with skin protein.

How does it work?

Chlorhex-S contains Chlorhexidine gluconate which acts by disrupting the plasma membrane of the microbial cells.
