Discover the power of PHMB

A highly potent, yet safe antiseptic, PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide) has been used commercially for over 75 years. Products in the Cardinal Health AMD portfolio are impregnated with PHMB. They act as a barrier against bacteria, resisting bacterial colonization and reducing bacterial penetration within the dressing.
