Whole body wash

The skin is a possible source of contamination1

A possible risk in any surgery is that of surgical sites becoming infected with bacteria from the patient’s own natural skin flora.1 There is a significant relationship between positive skin culture and wound infection rates, suggesting that the skin is a possible source of contamination.1 The whole body washing procedure or general skin cleansing procedure with HiBi® antiseptics provides a safe and efficient way of disinfecting the patient’s body.
