CHG Disinfection Swabs: The Efficient Guardian in the Medical Field”

In the medical environment, CHG disinfection swabs play an extremely important role.

They have a wide range of specific applications. During preoperative preparations, medical staff use CHG disinfection swabs to carefully disinfect the surgical sites of patients. They can effectively kill a variety of pathogenic microorganisms on the skin surface of the surgical area, such as common bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, greatly reducing the risk of surgical site infections and laying a solid foundation for the successful conduct of surgeries. In terms of wound care, whether it’s postoperative wounds or traumatic wounds, CHG disinfection swabs can be used for cleaning and disinfecting the skin around the wounds, preventing the deterioration of wound infections and promoting wound healing. For the skin care of long-term bedridden patients, regularly wiping the pressure-prone areas with CHG disinfection swabs can reduce skin infections and the formation of pressure sores caused by bacterial growth.

CHG disinfection swabs have numerous advantages. They possess excellent broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and can exert inhibitory and bactericidal effects on Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and fungi, covering almost all kinds of common pathogens in the medical environment. Their disinfection effect is long-lasting. After one wipe, they can continuously inhibit the growth of microorganisms for a long time, reducing the trouble of frequent disinfection. Moreover, CHG disinfection swabs are minimally irritating to the skin. Compared with some traditional disinfectants, patients’ skin is less likely to have adverse reactions such as allergies, redness, and itching after use, which is extremely friendly to patients with sensitive skin, especially infants and the elderly, improving patients’ comfort and compliance.

When using CHG disinfection swabs, there are also some precautions. Medical staff need to confirm whether patients are allergic to chlorhexidine gluconate before operation. If there is a history of allergies, its use should be prohibited. During disinfection, the wiping method and contact time specified should be strictly followed to ensure the disinfection effect. Meanwhile, contact between the swabs and patients’ sensitive parts such as eyes and mouths should be avoided. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with a large amount of clean water. In addition, CHG disinfection swabs should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from high temperatures and direct sunlight, and should be used within the expiration date. Expired products are strictly prohibited from use.
