About Dakin's Solution Full Strength 0.5% Sodium Hypochlorite Wound Cleanser
Dakin's Solution Full Strength is a 0.5% sodium hypochlorite wound cleanser that has been a trusted antimicrobial irrigation solution in wound care for over a century. Originally developed during World War I for treating infected wounds on the battlefield, Dakin's Solution continues to be used in clinical and home care settings for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. At full strength (0.5% sodium hypochlorite), it is indicated for infected wounds with significant bacterial burden, including chronic ulcers, post-surgical wounds, and pressure injuries. It assists in softening and debriding necrotic tissue while reducing wound malodor. The 16 oz ready-to-use bottle is conveniently sized for outpatient, home health, and acute care wound irrigation. Use of Dakin's Solution should be guided by a clinician, as concentration and frequency of application should be tailored to wound condition and healing stage.
