Usage Instructions:

Pre-operative surgical hand disinfection:

Wet hands and forearms, apply 5 ml of HiBiWash, and wash for 1 minute, cleaning fingernails with a brush or scraper.
Rinse, apply another 5 ml, and continue washing for a further 2 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Antiseptic hand wash on the ward:

Wet hands and forearms, apply 5 ml of HiBiWash, and wash for 1 minute.
Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Pre-operative skin antisepsis for the patient:

The patient washes their entire body in the bath or shower at least twice—typically the day before and the day of the operation.
On the day before surgery, the patient washes with 25 ml of HiBiWash, starting from the face and working downward, focusing on the nose, axillae, umbilicus, groin, and perineum.
Rinse and repeat the wash using another 25 ml, including the hair.
Rinse the body thoroughly and dry with a clean towel. Conventional disinfection of the operation site is then performed in theatre.

Post-operative skin antisepsis for the patient:

The patient washes their entire body, excluding the operation wound, usually on the third day after surgery, following the same washing procedure.

Children and elderly patients:

No special dosage recommendations. Standard adult doses apply unless advised otherwise by a physician.

Hazards and Warnings:

Do not inject.
Do not use in body cavities.
For external use only.
Avoid contact with the brain, meninges, and middle ear.
In case of eye contact, rinse immediately and thoroughly with water.
Patients with head or spinal injuries or a perforated eardrum should be evaluated before pre-operative use.

Ingredients: HiBiWash contains a revised formula including skin-friendly surfactants, moisturising agents, and antimicrobial ingredients to ensure effective cleansing and prolonged protection. The active ingredients offer superior bacterial control while remaining gentle on the skin.

Antimicrobial Protection: HiBiWash contains a new antimicrobial formulation that binds to the skin, providing persistent protection for up to six hours. Unlike standard soaps and gels, its repeated application strengthens its efficacy. The active ingredients effectively kill Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and viruses, helping to prevent surgical site infections and bacterial growth within 60 seconds.
