Question:
Do I use the whole bottle?

I had my pre-ops today and was given a small bottle of hibiclens to shower with before surgery. The nurse didn't mention if I should use the entire bottle and I didn't think to ask. It is a small bottle but it looks like there is more than you would ever need. I know this is probably a stupid question but does anyone know if I am to use the entire bottle. My surgery is tomorrow. Thanks.    — Erin N. (posted on February 23, 2004)

I forgot all about doing that. I was told to scrub with the whole bottle. Good luck and I wish you the best!!!!!!

The cleaner I had was Hex-A-clens,was told to take shower evening before and morning of surgery, use it from the neck down, they didn't say you had to use it all. I used several tbsp. each time, enough to get myself covered in it.

Some surgeons don't require that at all....mine didn't.
