09998, Hand disinfection liquid from Safeline
You can apply the ready-to-use liquid directly to your fingers and spread it from there. EN 1500 and EN 12791 are the official standards for hygienic and surgical hand disinfectants. The product complies with these standards, so it is an excellent choice for hospital wards and operating theatres.Additional positive properties
Potential uses are not restricted to one sector; they can cover all of the following: general medical fields, hospitals, body-related services and industry. As the disinfectant is fragrance- and aldehyde-free, it does not have a strong smell and is easy on the nose. The hand disinfection liquid is also good for sensitive or allergy-prone skin. You should not skimp on disinfectant; always make sure to use enough. Approximately three millilitres are needed, which is equivalent to two to three pumps. This is the only way to completely coat the hands. Then spread the disinfectant all over your hands for 30 seconds.
What does correct hand disinfection look like?
Correct hand disinfection is essential for two things: protecting patients and preventing infection. Disinfecting your hands before and after direct contact with patients, whether in a nursing setting or during medical treatment, prevents pathogens from being transmitted.The 5 indications:
- Before having contact with a patient.
- Before sterile treatments.
- After contact with potentially infectious material.
- After direct contact with a patient.
- After contact with a patient's immediate environment.
How to disinfect your hands properly for surgery
Before operations or surgical procedures, the professionals performing the operations and everyone working in the decontaminated area must undergo surgical hand disinfection with an alcohol-based disinfectant solution or special hand wash. They should pump the disinfectant dispenser with their elbow, then thoroughly distribute the disinfectant on their hands and forearms. Depending on the manufacturer's instructions, the exposure time is between three and five minutes.Observe the 'rule of 3' for surgical hand disinfection:
- First minute: Use the disinfectant to clean hands and forearms up to the elbow.
- In the second minute: Disinfect only the surface of the glove, i.e. your fingers, palms and wrists.
- Third minute: Here, disinfectant should only be applied to the hands themselves. Pay special attention to the fingertips, nail folds and interdigital spaces.
By the way: The method of scrubbing the skin with brushes, which used to be obligatory, has become obsolete because of possible micro-injuries. However, you need to keep your fingernails short and always disinfect them and your nail fold with a soft, germ-free nail brush before the first procedure of the day.
