Neoxidin Hands

Medical Surgical Unit, registration No. 16594.
Antiseptic liquid soap.
Chlorhexidine gluconate is active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi and viruses. The activity of chlorhexidine is pH dependent, with an optimal range from 5.50-7.00 which corresponds to the pH of body surfaces and tissues. However, within the pH range from 5.00 to 8.00, the antibacterial activity varies according to the microorganism and the type of buffer solution used. As an antiseptic for the hands, chlorhexidine has the following characteristics compared to the other active ingredients:
1. Rapidity of action (within 15 seconds);
2. Immediate effect: after a single application it reduces the resident skin bacterial flora by 86%, compared to 68% for povidone-iodine and 47% for hexachlorophene;
3. Persistence of effect: one of the most important advantages of chlorhexidine is its strong affinity with the skin. It is not absorbed but adsorbed and remains on the skin for several hours retaining its activity.
4. Efficacy of chlorhexidine + detergent.
5. Effectiveness in the presence of blood.
