We currently use a white labeled CHG cleanser for our patients ambulating to the shower, and CHG wipes for bedbound patients. It seems to be working well. Why would we want to change to HibiClens antiseptic skin cleanser?

To standardize bathing protocols and improve efficiency. This way, there’s no question on who had a CHG bath and which product to use. Only limited quantities of plain soap would need to be stocked in case a patient has a CHG allergy or contraindication.5

It is great that you are seeing the benefits of CHG bathing. We have seen with other facilities that they are reducing CLABSIs, MRSA, etc., but have also still struggled with Chloridoids difficile. With the CHG “wipe”, you are only moving the spores around on the skin and are not physically removing them with water. Hibiclens brings us back to the basics with a soap and CHG all in one product. This will achieve the benefits of CHG protection and allow you to reduce Chloridoids difficile rates by rinsing with water.6,7,8,9
