Descutan 4% antiseptic skin cleanser

Descutan is a specialized antiseptic skin cleanser used primarily for preoperative full-body washing to reduce the risk of surgical site infections. The product shown is a 'home wash kit' designed for patients to use before arriving at the hospital. It contains sponges and a cutaneous solution (often referred to as shampoo) based on chlorhexidine gluconate.

The brand is part of the extensive portfolio of Fresenius Kabi, a global healthcare company with deep roots in Germany. While the product is widely distributed in Nordic countries like Sweden, manufacturing occurs across various global sites within the Fresenius Kabi network, including facilities in Europe and beyond. The brand name 'Kabi' originates from a Swedish pharmaceutical history (formerly Pharmacia & Upjohn's infusion business), reflecting the international heritage of the current company.
