The Role of Irrigation in Wound Management

By using wound irrigation, you can mechanically remove foreign materials, cellular debris, and bacterial contaminants from wounds.13

The choice of irrigation can be a critical component in your wound management plan.13

The Role of Irrigation in Infection Prevention

Infection is the most common complication of a wound.16 A wound infection with microorganisms is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections, globally.17

By using wound irrigation, you can remove foreign materials, cellular debris, and bacterial contaminants from wounds.16,17

Microorganisms may be more susceptible to removal when a combination of mechanical action and a preservative (like CHG) in the solution are used.15,18

The choice of irrigation can be a critical component in your infection plan.16

Irrisept Antimicrobial Wound Lavage

0.05% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) in 99.95% Sterile Water for Irrigation, USP. 

As a preservative in the bottled solution, CHG features broad spectrum activity against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and some viruses.2

CHG Soap

What is Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG)?

Chlorhexidine Gluconate, or CHG, is a well-known antimicrobial used in pharmaceuticals and medical devices for more than half a century.19,20,22 CHG is a positively (+) charged molecule that rapidly binds to a negatively (-) charged bacterial cell wall, causing disruption of the cell membrane and subsequent cellular death.19,22 As a preservative in the solution, CHG features:
  • Broad spectrum activity against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and some viruses.2,19
  • Quick onset of action/persistent effect, allowing it to remain active long after the initial application.2,19,21,22
  • Antimicrobial activity not limited by the presence of body fluids such as blood, in contrast to povidone-iodine.3,21
