Pharmaceutical Intermediate Octenidine Hydrochloride 99% Octenidine Dihydrochloride Powder Octenidine

Octenidine dihydrochloride is commonly used as a topical antiseptic to prevent and treat infections in wounds, burns, surgical incisions, and other skin injuries.  It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE).  Octenidine dihydrochloride interrupts the cell membrane of microbes and deactivates key enzymes, effectively inhibiting their growth and spread.
In addition to its use as a topical antiseptic, Octenidine dihydrochloride is also used as a preservative in healthcare and personal care products.  It prevents the growth of microorganisms in products like eye drops, contact lens solutions, and oral hygiene products, and is particularly effective against Gram-negative bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Another benefit of Octenidine dihydrochloride is its compatibility with a wide range of materials, including plastics, elastomers, metals, and textiles.  This makes it a valuable antiseptic in medical device and implant manufacturing.  It inhibits the growth of bacteria on surfaces, which reduces the risk of infection from these devices.
