Clean Scene InvestigationsStart with Hibiclens®
Any good investigation starts at the scene – in this case, your facility. Protect both patients and healthcare workers at your facility by killing the Hibigeebies - microorganisms that potentially can cause disease. Hibiclens kills germs on contact and continues to lower skin microbial counts with repeated use. Its 4.0% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bonds with the skin to create a germ-killing field that keeps killing long after washing/scrubbing.

Hibiclens is indicated for use as:
• a surgical hand scrub
• a healthcare personnel hand wash
• a patient pre-operative skin preparation
• a wound cleanser and general skin cleaner

Gentle yet powerful, Hibiclens is compatible with the normal pH of the skin and ideal for use several times a day.

Hibiclens keeps working when you’re not
Hibiclens (4.0% CHG) is the most effective antimicrobial wash providing the longest protection – up to six hours per use¹ – that is not neutralized by blood or other organic material.²

The evidence is in – nothing works like Hibiclens
Others have tried to imitate Hibiclens with “me too” products. No one has succeeded.

Hibiclens kills the Hibigeebies . . . giving you and your facility one less thing to worry about.
