HiBiWash Cleanser 

HiBiWash® is a clear, colourless antibacterial wash formulated for effective skin cleansing and infection control in medical and domestic environments. Containing an advanced antimicrobial blend with 4% Chlorhexidine Gluconate, it delivers broad-spectrum protection against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, some fungi and viruses, helping to reduce microbial load and support the prevention of surgical site infections.

The cleanser works by removing microorganisms from the skin and binding to its surface to create a persistent protective layer. This provides continued antimicrobial action for up to six hours after application and begins eliminating harmful microbes within 60 seconds. Unlike standard soaps and some antiseptics, its efficacy is not reduced by bodily fluids, and repeated use enhances its protective performance.

Now reformulated to improve sustainability and skin tolerance, HiBiWash® is free from colour, fragrance and soya oil, reducing the risk of irritation and allergic reactions. Added emollients and dermatologically tested ingredients help maintain skin hydration and integrity, making it suitable for frequent use.

Usage Guidance

Pre-operative surgical hand disinfection
Wet hands and forearms. Apply 5ml HiBiWash® and wash for 1 minute, cleaning fingernails with a brush if required. Rinse, then apply a second 5ml and wash for a further 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Ward antiseptic hand wash
Wet hands and forearms, apply 5ml and wash for 1 minute. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Pre-operative patient skin cleansing
The patient should wash their entire body at least twice, typically the day before and the day of surgery. Use 25ml per wash, starting from the face and working downwards, paying particular attention to the nose, axillae, umbilicus, groin and perineum. Rinse and repeat, including hair. Dry using a clean towel before standard theatre disinfection.

Post-operative skin cleansing
Wash the body (excluding the wound site) from day three post-surgery, following the same method as pre-operative washing.

Children and elderly patients may follow standard adult dosing unless otherwise advised by a healthcare professional.
