The correct methods for disinfection with CHG disinfection sticks are as follows:

Preparation before use

• Check the expiration date of the CHG disinfection stick to ensure its effectiveness.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry them before using the disinfection stick to avoid contaminating the disinfection area.

Disinfection operation

• Remove the cap of the CHG disinfection stick.
• For small areas such as fingertips or the area around a small wound, gently roll the disinfection stick over the skin surface to be disinfected, ensuring that the disinfectant comes into full contact with the skin. Make sure to cover the entire area to be disinfected, usually with 2 to 3 gentle rolls.
• For larger areas like the palm or forearm, you can hold the disinfection stick and gently swipe it back and forth over the skin, similar to using a lipstick or a glue stick. Make sure the skin is evenly coated with the disinfectant.

Post-use matters

• After disinfection, allow the disinfectant to air dry naturally on the skin. Do not wipe or rinse the area immediately to ensure the disinfectant has enough time to take effect.
• Replace the cap of the CHG disinfection stick after use and store it in a cool, dry place for future use.

It’s important to note that CHG disinfection sticks are only for external use on the skin and should not be used on mucous membranes such as the eyes, mouth, and nose, or inside open wounds to avoid irritation and damage.
