hexachlorophene and Infection

hexachlorophene has been researched along with Infection in 9 studies

Hexachlorophene: A chlorinated bisphenol antiseptic with a bacteriostatic action against Gram-positive organisms, but much less effective against Gram-negative organisms. It is mainly used in soaps and creams and is an ingredient of various preparations used for skin disorders. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p797)
hexachlorophene : An organochlorine compound that is diphenylmethane in which each of the phenyl groups is substituted by chlorines at positions 2, 3, and 5, and by a hydroxy group at position 6. An antiseptic that is effective against Gram-positive organisms, it is used in soaps and creams for the treatment of various skin disorders. It is also used in agriculture as an acaricide and fungicide, but is not approved for such use within the European Union.

Trial Outcomes

Detect Presence of Allergy or Skin Reaction by the Antiseptic Application

"135 units of measurement to test two antiseptics and two controls. Principal unit of measurement: four determinations of bacterial counts in a subject for antiseptics and controls to test each of the application sites.~All volunteers was provided with a neutral soap without antiseptics for use of two weeks. 2% chlorhexidine in 70% isopropyl alcohol and 1% triclosan in 70% isopropyl alcohol, Deionized water redistilled and Scrub the skin without prior application of any substance was tested. We prepared four skin's areas of 25 cm2, two in each forearm. The solution remained on the skin for 60s, 3h and 24h.~Presence of allergy or any skin reaction at 24 hours after the antiseptic application." (NCT01762904)
Timeframe: 24 hours

Evaluate the Effect on the Skin Flora Application Process of Antiseptics by Sterile Swab

"135 units of measurement to test two controls. Principal unit of measurement: four determinations of bacterial counts in a subject for antiseptics and controls to test each of the application sites.~All volunteers was provided with a neutral soap without antiseptics for use of two weeks. Deionized water redistilled (Control 2: Control with scrub) and Scrub the skin without prior application of any substance (Control1: Control without scrub) was tested. Were prepared two skin's areas of 25 cm2 randomly selected. The solution remained on the skin for 60s, 3h and 24h.~Cultures was taken with a scrub-cup of 5 cm2 pressed over the skin, added a 3 mL of culture broth. The skin was scrub with a sterile rubber policeman for 1 minute and the procedure conducted once again. Both aliquots came together in a sterile tube, a sample of 50 microliters were spread in a plate containing a neutralizing agar and were incubated at 35°C for 24 h." (NCT01762904)
Timeframe: 24 hrs

Evaluate the Residual Effect of Chlorhexidine 2% / Isopropyl Alcohol 70% Administered Topically

"135 determinations to evaluate residual effect of 2% chlorhexidine in 70% isopropyl alcohol.~All volunteers was provided with a neutral soap without antiseptics for use of two weeks. 2% chlorhexidine in 70% isopropyl alcohol was tested. Were prepared the skin area of 25 cm2 randomly selected. The solution remained on the skin for 60s, 3h and 24h, everyone on different days.~Cultures was taken with a scrub-cup of 5 cm2 pressed over the skin, added a 3 mL of culture broth. The skin was scrub with a sterile rubber policeman for 1 minute and the procedure conducted once again. Both aliquots came together in a sterile tube, a sample of 50 microliters were spread in a plate containing a neutralizing agar and were incubated at 35°C for 24 h." (NCT01762904)
Timeframe: 24 hours

Evaluate the Residual Effect of Triclosan 1% / Isopropyl Alcohol 70% Administered Topically.

"135 determinations to test 1% triclosan in 70% isopropyl alcohol.~All volunteers was provided with a neutral soap without antiseptics for use of two weeks. 1% triclosan in 70% isopropyl alcohol was tested. Were prepared the skin area of 25 cm2 randomly selected. The solution remained on the skin for 60s, 3h and 24h, everyone on different days.~Cultures was taken with a scrub-cup of 5 cm2 pressed over the skin, added a 3 mL of culture broth.
