HAND SANITISER

* * A hand sanitizer or hand antiseptic is a supplement or alternative to hand washing with soap and water.

* Various preparations are available, including gel, foam, and liquid solutions. * The active ingredient in hand sanitizers may be isopropanol, ethanol, n-propanol, povidone-iodine.

* Inactive ingredients in alcohol rubs typically include a thickening agent such as polyacrylic acid for alcohol gels, humectants such as glycerin for liquid rubs, propylene glycol, and essential oils of plants.

* Alcohol based hand sanitizers are more effective at killing germs than soaps and do not dry out hands as much.

* Common non-alcohol, rinse-free hand sanitizer brands use either small concentrations of the nitrogenous cationic surface-acting agent benzalkonium chloride or the chlorinated aromatic compound triclosan or povidone-iodine

* All hand sanitizer products require NDC designation in United States and NPN designation in Canada. Hand sanitizer is controlled as a biocide in Europe.

    Bacteria Lab Write-Up

    Hypothesis: Antibacterial soap will be the best because soap is a substance that people use to wash their hands because it takes away the germs. Even the name, antibacterial soap, suggests that it fights off bacteria. Hydrogen peroxide is second because it is used to kill off cells on wounds and is poisonous. Rubbing alcohol will be third because medical professionals use it to sterilize skin, but it doesn’t kill much bacteria. Lastly, fourth will be water because without anything to help it, water cannot do anything. For example, if you wash your hands and you do not use any soap, none of the germs on your hand will be cleaned.…

    Researchable Practice Issues Distribute Research Methods

    Consequently, the current policy of hand washing requires an adaption which must be based on current research. The importance of skin care Despite large amounts of such studies which confirm that alcohol based hand desinfectants achieve higher results in terms of infection prevention, a general sceptic is often notable, as well as common misbelieves. Most nurses still believe that alcohol-based hand rubs damage their skin more than hand-washing. However, alcohol-based preparations are much kinder to the skin than hand-washing agents because they are less harmful to the cutaneous barrier (as measured by transepidermal water loss) and dry the skin out less. Interestingly, the application of alcohols after hand washing can even reduce the irritation caused by the washing, probably by elimination of residual detergent monomers. (1) In a French study where1932 assessments were collected showed that traditional hand washing was a risk factor for dryness or irritation, while alcohol-based hand rubs caused no skin deterioration and had a protective effect even when used intensively.…
