Microshield 4% Chlorhexidine Surgical Handwash

Microshield 4% Chlorhexidine Surgical Handwash is a trusted topical antiseptic solution designed for both surgical hand scrubbing and preoperative body washing. Specifically formulated to kill germs and bacteria on the skin, it helps reduce the risk of infection before surgery or invasive procedures. Suitable for use on both hands and body, it lowers bacterial load on the skin to minimise the chance of bacteria entering a wound or surgical site when the skin is cut or pierced.
