Description
The Anasept Antimicrobial Skin and Wound Cleanser is a clear, isotonic liquid cleanser built around 0.057% sodium hypochlorite, a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent with a long record in wound care. It cleans the wound bed by the mechanical action of fluid moving across the site, lifting away dirt, debris and foreign material while inhibiting the growth of common wound bacteria and fungi. Seven bottle and closure combinations cover everything from a 4 oz bedside bottle to a 15 oz dispensing cap bottle for high volume treatment rooms.
- Broad spectrum antimicrobial action – 0.057% sodium hypochlorite inhibits bacteria including MRSA and VRE, plus fungi such as Candida albicans
- Mechanical cleansing – the flow of the isotonic liquid across the wound bed removes dirt, debris and foreign material
- Closure matched to the task – dispensing caps pour, finger sprayers mist at 3 to 5 psi, and trigger sprayers deliver 8 to 12 psi for mechanical debridement support
- Seven configurations – 4 oz, 8 oz, 12 oz and 15 oz bottles in cases sized for clinics, wound centers and home health agencies
Antimicrobial Cleansing for Wound Beds and Skin
Wound cleansing is the first step of nearly every dressing change, and this cleanser is formulated to do that job without working against the tissue it touches. The clear isotonic liquid is applied across the entire wound bed, where its flow mechanically carries away loose debris, dried exudate and foreign material. Its modified sodium hypochlorite antimicrobial remains active against a wide range of organisms found in wound beds, including antibiotic resistant strains that complicate chronic wound care. Clinicians can use it on intact skin and exit sites over the counter, and under professional supervision across a broad set of acute and chronic wounds. The choice of closure changes how the fluid reaches the wound, from a gentle finger sprayer mist to a trigger sprayer stream that supports mechanical debridement. After application the cleanser is allowed to dry for one to two minutes before the wound is dressed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the active antimicrobial in this cleanser?
The active agent is sodium hypochlorite at 0.057% in a clear, isotonic liquid base. Bravida Medical modified the formulation to deliver broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi commonly found in wound beds.
Which wounds can it be used on?
Over the counter, it is used for skin abrasions, lacerations, minor irritations, cuts, exit sites and intact skin. Under the supervision of a healthcare professional it is used for stage I to IV pressure ulcers, partial and full thickness wounds, diabetic foot and leg ulcers, post-surgical wounds, first and second degree burns, and grafted and donor sites.
What is the difference between the finger sprayer and trigger sprayer bottles?
The finger sprayer produces a gentle mist at about 3 to 5 psi, suited to fragile skin and light cleansing. The trigger sprayer delivers 8 to 12 psi, which supports mechanical removal of debris and aligns with NPIAP guidance for mechanical debridement.
How is the cleanser applied during a dressing change?
Apply the cleanser across the entire wound bed so the fluid flow can lift away dirt and debris. Allow it to dry for one to two minutes, then apply the dressing. Gauze can also be patted against the wound to help remove softened slough.
Does it need to be rinsed off?
No rinsing step is built into the manufacturer directions for this cleanser. It is applied to the wound bed, allowed to dry briefly, and then covered with the selected dressing.
How should the bottles be stored?
Store the bottles at room temperature and do not freeze them. Keep the closure on the bottle between uses so the contents stay protected.
