Just to note that for the specific indication of preoperative skin preparation the product should hold a marketing authorisation. If there isn't a licensed veterinary product, under cascade rules you should source a human alternative such as Hibiscrub (product license no. PL 21855/0002)

Utilising products registered as biocides is essentially illegal... Here is an explanatory note from the EAASM

Dermastel CHX, 4% Chlorhexidine scrub (previously known as Medihex-4) is available directly from Tristel or Henry Schein Animal Health, NVS and Centaur.

Yes thats exactly why we ordered it! I spoke to their tech support and they were next to useless, just read the product info off the sheet then said 'I think its ok to use as you would Hibiscrub'!!!

I will order the vetasept, thanks!!! :)

Hello

I take it you are ordering this alternative as hibi is out of stock at NVS?! I ordered vetroxx as an alternative as advised by NVS but it's not chlorhexidine gluconate so I sent it back. VetaSept is available and this is chlorhexidine gluconate 4% (same as hibi) and is cheaper than hibi from our supplier :)
