Hibiscrub launched in UK

Link: JCN Online - Journal.

Molnlycke Healthcare has recently launched HiBiSCRUB, the UK’s first chlorhexidine-based bodywash. The new hospital-strength antimicrobial is licensed for personal use, and is backed by extensive clinical evidence showing its effectiveness against a wide range of bacteria, including MRSA. Recently, community-acquired infections have also made the headlines. Statistics from the Health Protection Agency reveal that at least 100 people have now been diagnosed with C-MRSA, the community acquired version of MRSA, resulting in one death. That’s why the HPA now officially advises the public to use an effective antimicrobial prior to a hospital admission. GSL-licensed HiBiSCRUB�, with added emollients, is available from Boots, priced at �7.99 for 250ml. Further information: www.hibihealth.com
