Abstract
Compositions containing chlorhexidine gluconate solubilized in hydrophobic vehicles are described. Resin systems containing such chlorhexidine gluconate compositions, including adhesives and articles incorporating such resin systems, including medical articles such as drapes are also described.
Claims20
A composition comprising chlorhexidine gluconate solubilized in a hydrophobic vehicle having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of no greater than 10 as determined using the HLB Method,
- wherein the hydrophobic vehicle comprises two proximate hydrogen-bonding groups,
- wherein at least one of the hydrogen-bonding groups is a hydrogen donor,
- wherein the composition comprises no greater than 0.1 parts by weight hydrophilic vehicle per 1 part by weight chlorhexidine gluconate, and
- wherein the hydrophobic vehicle comprises a functional group selected from the group consisting of:
- an ester group, an ether group, an alcohol, and combinations thereof.
