Hexawash (Chlorhex) 4% 5 L Scrub

Hexawash is an antiseptic and antifungal wash effectively cleans skin and hands against a wide range of bacteria and fungi with low toxicity and with little or no residual resistance. It is bacteriocidal – causing damage to cell membranes. Chorhexidine solutions have the longest residual activity, remaining chemically active for 5 to 6 hours.
