Klorhexidindiglukonat
Klorhexidindiglukonat (also known as chlorhexidine digluconate) is a broad‑spectrum antiseptic and disinfectant widely used in healthcare, dental, and personal hygiene products. It is the sodium salt of chlorhexidine chloride complexed with gluconic acid, a biocidal agent effective against Gram‑positive and Gram‑negative bacteria, yeasts, and some enveloped viruses. The compound functions by binding to bacterial cell membranes, causing leakage of cellular constituents and ultimately cell death. Its activity remains relatively stable across a wide range of pH values, which contributes to its versatility in formulations such as mouthwashes, skin cleansers, and wound‑care antiseptic solutions.
Clinically, chlorhexidine digluconate is frequently applied in pre‑operative skin preparation, surgical scrubs, and to disinfect contaminated
