It is best to use the diacetate form of chlorhexidine, but like all forms of chlorhexidine, it must be diluted before use. This form must be diluted down to a 0.05% solution before use or you can cause further tissue damage in an open wound. It is also best to use distilled water for dilution purposes as the chlorides in tap water will form a precipitate and lower the effectiveness of the chlorhexidine.
