Ecolab Healthcare ANZ Skinman Soft Protect hand disinfectant

The Ecolab Healthcare ANZ Skinman Soft Protect is a broad spectrum alcohol surgical and hygienic hand rub suitable for use in clinical settings by healthcare personnel to ensure hand disinfection is in line with EN12791 and EN1500.

Skinman Soft Protect products feature a skin-friendly formulation carefully developed with ingredients for good skin compatibility: vitamin E, nourishing glycerine and regenerative panthenol.

Skinman Soft Protect is fast-acting with a reduced application time of 90 s for use as a surgical rub and 30 s as a hygienic hand rub. It is proven to improve skin tolerability and acceptability over time, across a range of skin-friendly criteria, using an established WHO protocol, according to Ecolab.

For surgical hand disinfection: all skin surfaces including subungual areas are to be clean and dry prior to commencing surgical rub; surgical hand disinfection is achieved by rubbing undiluted product onto both hands as necessary to keep wet for 90 s; at completion of rub allow hands to air dry thoroughly before donning sterile gloves; refer to ACORN guidelines and the Surgical Rub Technique for detailed protocol.

For hygienic hand disinfection: sufficient product must be applied to ensure complete coverage of hands, while maintaining coverage for 30 s and rubbing thoroughly until dry. Potential buyers must speak to an Ecolab healthcare manager for a product sample or product trial and visit the company website for further information.
