What's hiba cleanse?

Hibiclense is a fast-acting, broad-spectrum antimicrobial skin cleanser. This product continues to kill germs up to 6 hours after washing. It prevents skin infections thereby reducing the risk of cross-infection. Has antiseptic activity and a persistent antimicrobial effect with rapid bacterial activity against a wide range of microorganisms.

It is used to cleanse your skin/surgical site prior to surgery to prevent/reduce the chance of getting an infection.

What's hiba cleanse?

It looks like iodine. Its yellow. Cleans and it's like an antibacterial. You use it the morning of your surgery. You scrub your skin(where you're having surgery) with it.

I'm pre-op, so not sure what my Dr will have me use. I'm a medical professional and am very familiar with this product (and others like it). Your Dr will most likely tell you want he/she wants you to use. Some physicians only have you use an antibacterial soap the night before and the morning of surgery. It just varies from surgeon to surgeon; ask yours if you aren't sure.

You can get it at Walgreens, CVS, and most other stores that have pharmacies.
