Product formulation greatly influences the overall efficacy and acceptance of alcohol-based hand rubs (ABHRs), the preferred method of hand hygiene when hands are not visibly soiled.
Two properly formulated ABHRs (containing 70% ethanol) have been proven to meet healthcare efficacy requirements at more realistic doses1, which lets healthcare workers (HCWs) move between tasks more efficiently.
Using properly formulated ABHRs can also help keep both patients and HCWs safe by providing the efficacy claimed while maintaining skin health and good skin feel.
