Chlorhexidine HCl（Cat No.:A000503）is a powerful antiseptic and disinfectant commonly used to prevent and control infections. It works by disrupting microbial cell membranes, effectively killing a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as some fungi and viruses. Widely applied in healthcare, chlorhexidine HCl is used in wound care, oral hygiene products, and preoperative skin preparation. Known for its prolonged antimicrobial activity, it reduces bacterial regrowth and is valuable in both clinical and household settings. Its efficacy and safety profile make it a staple in infection control and hygiene.
