Octenidine Dihydrochloride（Cat No.:R057676）is a cationic antiseptic agent widely used for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and some viruses. Known for its efficacy in skin and mucosal disinfection, it is a common ingredient in wound care products, mouthwashes, and hospital-grade antiseptics. Octenidine disrupts microbial cell membranes, leading to rapid bactericidal effects, making it a valuable alternative to other antiseptics like chlorhexidine and iodine. Its low cytotoxicity and sustained action make it suitable for long-term use in healthcare settings, contributing to infection control and improved patient safety.
