Chlorhexidine Digluconate Solution
Application Notes
Chlorhexidine is used primarily as a topical antiseptic/disinfectant in wound healing, at catheterization sites, in various dental applications and in surgical scrubs. It has been used to study how essential oils improve skin antisepsis when combined with chlorhexidine digluconate and is used for skin permeation studies. Chronic rinsing with chlorhexidine has been shown to decrease the saltiness of NaCl and the bitterness of quinine. Used in conjuction with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) can increase its effectiveness.
