Medline ReadyPrep CHG 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate Cloths are intended for cleansing external skin and should not be used on mucous membranes. This means they should generally be avoided inside or directly on sensitive areas such as the rectum, urethra, or other mucosal tissue.
These antiseptic cloths are commonly used for external skin cleansing to reduce bacteria on the skin surface. However, care around catheter sites and intimate areas should follow the instructions provided by a healthcare professional or the product labeling to ensure safe and appropriate use.
