What is Hibi®?

A trusted antiseptic solution specifically designed to combat Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) and Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). Hibi® is chosen by healthcare professionals around the world. Its antimicrobial products are effective and easy to use, helping improve health outcomes and patient satisfaction.

About Surgical Site Infections: Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) pose significant risks to patient safety and healthcare efficiency, resulting in increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and substantial healthcare costs. Research indicates that up to 60% of these infections are preventable, highlighting the critical need for reliable antiseptic solutions.

What are the benefits of Hibiwash?

4% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG)

Provides proven broad-spectrum antimicrobial action, significantly reducing infection rates. Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) binds to the cell wall of the bacteria, causing it to rupture and die. Further, the molecules in CHG attach to the proteins in human tissues, providing a protective layer for hours after use.

Long-Lasting Protection

Effectively binds to the skin, continuing to eliminate harmful microorganisms even after rinsing. Regular use of Hibiwash® can help reduce the chance of 11 in 100 patients contracting an SSI up to 30 days after surgery.

No Special Storage Needed

Streamlines patient bathing protocols by removing the requirement for warming machines or special storage, conserving valuable hospital resources.

Proven Effectiveness

Effective against a wide range of microbes including Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, yeast, fungi and viruses, and reduces bacterial load more efficiently than povidone iodine. It has also been shown to significantly decrease the risk of hospital-associated Staphylococcus aureus infections by up to 60% when used in combination with a nasal antibiotic.

Gentle on Skin

Specifically reformulated without fragrance or colour, and enriched with emollients, to minimise skin irritation and allergic reactions.

How It Has Reformulated

HIBIWASH® bonds to and Cares for Skin

It has been thoughtfully reformulated to be more environmentally sustainable and skin-friendly. The new formulation uses fewer raw materials and less energy in production, reducing its environmental impact. Free from colour, fragrance, and soya oil, making it gentle on the skin and less likely to cause irritation, improving patient compliance – even with frequent use.
