PT# 57508 Prep Solution Hibiclens 8oz Antimicrobial 4% CHG Bottle Ea by, Molnlycke Healthcare (Regent)

I always get recommended this soap prior to surgery and it’s easy to see why. It’s a watery solution but I end up needing very little. You just wet the skin, squirt a bit into the applying hand and rub where you need it cleaned. (You do this after washing everywhere else and do this last.) you can feel the slippery soap feeling where you apply it and know if you need more as that feeling runs thin. Once on the skin, it starts that cooling/heated/tingling antiseptic feeling like a rubbing alcohol type antiseptic feeling without the dryness. That’s usually when I rinse it off, about 20-30 seconds after application. Very noticeable clean but not overly chemical smell. Reminds me of that strong liquid hand soap smell in the 80s, still one you smell in some restrooms from time to time. I don’t think it’s supposed to lather and that’s not an indication of soap working anyway. Don’t try to mix it with anything or it defeats the purpose. The medical version is dyed bright pink but if you’re paranoid about dyes despite this being strictly for external use, they do have an undyed version. They dye it for use in hospitals so it isn’t mistaken for anything else (which is often the purpose of dyes in cleaners). No issues with seal damage or leaking on mine either.

My doctor recommended me using this for 3 days prior to my bilateral knee replacement surgery. I had NO trace of infection on either surgical site while my room/surgery partner couldn't say the same.

Best out there. Had to use before surgery. Smell is not strong and it does not irritate skin.

We keep this on hand to use. A member of our household has frequent surgeries and this is what we use the night before procedures.It’s also been great for cleaning wouldn’t after a bite, bug sting or scratch from an animal.

It is easy to use and provides a generous amount of cleanser !

Very good

Does the job. Not easy to do much in depth on a product this simple . Wish it costs a little less

Skin irritation:The price was good
