CHG disinfection swabs are disinfection products containing Chlorhexidine Gluconate (abbreviated as CHG). Here is a detailed introduction to them:

Main Ingredient: Chlorhexidine Gluconate is a cationic surfactant with broad-spectrum antibacterial effects. It has inhibitory and bactericidal effects on various microorganisms such as Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and fungi.
Disinfection Principle: CHG can adsorb on the surface of bacteria, disrupt the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane, causing the leakage of intracellular substances, thereby inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria and achieving the purpose of disinfection. Meanwhile, it can also combine with the bacterial cell wall and interfere with the synthesis of the cell wall, further enhancing its antibacterial effect.

Highly Antibacterial: It has a rapid and long-lasting antibacterial effect and can effectively reduce the risk of infection. At appropriate concentrations, it has a strong killing ability against common pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
Low Irritation: Compared with some traditional disinfectants, CHG disinfection swabs are less irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. They are less likely to cause adverse reactions such as skin allergies and redness after use, and are suitable for most people.
Convenient to Use: The swabs are designed to be easy to operate and can be directly used for disinfection of the skin, mucous membranes and other parts without the need for additional disinfection equipment or tools.

Medical Field: In hospitals, in places such as operating rooms, wards, and intensive care units, medical staff often use CHG disinfection swabs to disinfect patients’ skin before surgery, at injection sites, and for wound care. For example, before surgery, using CHG disinfection swabs to thoroughly disinfect the skin around the surgical incision can effectively reduce the incidence of surgical site infections.
Personal Care: In daily life, CHG disinfection swabs can also be used for personal skin disinfection, such as disinfection treatment after minor abrasions and cuts, as well as for daily hand disinfection. For some outdoor enthusiasts or travelers, carrying CHG disinfection swabs can facilitate simple wound treatment and disinfection in the wild.

Scope of Application: Although CHG disinfection swabs have a wide range of antibacterial effects, they are not suitable for all situations. For certain special infections or wounds, such as severe deep tissue infections, burn wounds, etc., it may be necessary to choose a more appropriate disinfection method or drug according to specific circumstances.
Avoid Contact with Sensitive Parts: When using them, avoid contact between CHG disinfection swabs and sensitive parts such as the eyes and mouth to prevent irritation or damage. If they accidentally come into contact with these parts, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water.
Use According to Instructions: Use CHG disinfection swabs strictly in accordance with the requirements of the product instructions, including the usage method, dosage, and action time. Do not overuse or use them for a long time to avoid adverse effects on the skin.
