What is the chemical in contact solution?
# Benzyl Alcohol Edetate Disodium Polyaminopropyl Biguanide Chlorhexidine Gluconate == # Polyaminopropyl biguanide is a disinfectant and preservative used in contact solutions. Contact solutions containing this ingredient assist in the prevention of bacterial and fungal eye infections. # Chlorhexidine gluconate is an antiseptic used to kill microbes.
