Personal hand sanitisers
Tuesday, 02 October, 2012
We use our hands to do things all the time. Our hands are great carriers of germs. Infection control experts have identified the hands as being the number one method whereby germs are transferred from one person to another. They regularly reinforce the good hand hygiene message in the prevention of disease outbreaks to healthcare workers and to the general public.
Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitisers have been around for quite a while but the early products were very harsh on the skin and caused dryness and cracking. Modern hand sanitisers generally contain skin emollients or conditioners that protect the skin from the drying effects of the alcohol with repeated use.
As well as being a very effective germ killer, alcohol is the ideal ingredient in instant hand sanitisers as it evaporates quickly. There is no need to find a sink or towels whenever you need to sanitise your hands either.
GelFast Anywear is an alcohol based personal hand sanitiser that you take with you. The product can be worn on your belt for ease of use and the comfort of knowing that you are able to sanitise your hands wherever you are. The Gelfast Anywear cartridge when empty can be disposed in the recycling stream as it is made of recyclable material.
