CHG disinfectant swabs are swabs with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) as the main disinfectant ingredient, and their specific applications are as follows:

Skin disinfection
Pre-surgical preparation: Before a surgical procedure, healthcare professionals will use CHG disinfecting swabs to disinfect the skin at the surgical site of the patient, in order to kill bacteria on the surface of the skin and reduce the risk of surgical infection. For example, before abdominal surgery, the surgical area is carefully wiped with a CHG sterile swab to create a sterile area and ensure a safe procedure.
Injection and puncture site disinfection: Before performing various injections (e.g., intramuscular injections, intravenous injections, etc.) and puncture operations (e.g., venipuncture, lumbar puncture, etc.), CHG disinfectant swabs are used to disinfect the local skin, which effectively prevents bacteria from entering the human body through the puncture point and causing infections.
Wound care
Superficial wound cleaning and disinfection: For superficial wounds such as abrasions and cuts, CHG disinfecting swabs can be used to gently wipe the wound and the surrounding skin to remove the dirt and bacteria on the wound surface to disinfect and clean the wound, which will help the wound to heal and reduce the chance of infection.
Wound dressing: During wound dressing, CHG disinfecting swabs can be used to clean the secretions on the wound surface and disinfect the skin around the wound, creating a relatively sterile environment for the wound and promoting normal wound healing.
Mucosal disinfection
Oral Mucosal Disinfection: Before some operations in dentistry, such as tooth extraction, oral surgery, etc., doctors may use CHG disinfecting swabs to disinfect the oral mucosa, in order to reduce the number of bacteria in the oral cavity, and reduce the risk of postoperative infection. It may also be used as an adjunctive treatment for localised inflammation in the oral cavity, to clean and disinfect the mucous membranes at the site of inflammation.
Nasal and vaginal mucosal disinfection: CHG disinfecting swabs can be used to disinfect the mucosa of nasal or vaginal areas before some of the examination and treatment operations. For example, before vaginal drug administration and hysteroscopy, disinfecting the vaginal mucosa can prevent pathogens from infection and ensure the safety of the operation.
Cleaning of medical devices
Disinfection of small medical devices: For some small medical devices, such as stethoscopes, sphygmomanometer cuffs, thermometers, etc., CHG disinfectant swabs can be used to wipe and disinfect them to remove bacteria on the surface of the device and prevent cross-infection.
Localised cleaning of medical devices: CHG disinfecting swabs can also be useful in localised cleaning and disinfection of large medical devices. For example, in some electronic devices, such as ports, buttons, etc., the use of CHG disinfecting swabs can be effectively disinfected without damaging the equipment.
