Hi
Just wondering if anyone has any guidelines regarding the length of time bottles of 0.5% Chlorhexidine in 70% Alcohol should remain open for, before being discarded.
There are no specific recommendations from the manufacturer.
Regards
Pauline

I was of the understanding we should be using small containers of any
solution – single patient use portions and what doesn’t get used is
discarded.
That is what we do here, but I don’t know if there is a recommended
time they can be left open. Sorry.
Cheers
