I haven't had surgery yet but the doctors from where I'm fro suggests to use hibiclense. You can buy it from Walmart or any local ppharmacy. At Walmart its about 6 dollars. I don't know how much it would be at your local pharmacy. Good luck on your surgery.
Hmmm my surgery 5 yrs ago....I was told just use what you use it was only post op that specifics were given.
Post op I was told to use Baby shampoo and to not shampoo often as any washing will dry out the skin and drying leads to the skin pulling,,,which could cause the incision to open in places,
Hi Sarah,
Your big day is almost here, and we are all pulling for you!
The day before my surgery, I had a visit with the nurse, who gave me the shampoo I was to use the morning of, or night before, the surgery. The label on the bottle reads "Surgical Scrub," which is a 4 oz bottle. The manufacturer name on the bottle is 'Steris.' It says that it is with Bactoshield CHG 4%.
