Antisepsis
Conditions
Brief summary
The present study evaluates the effects of bactericidal load reduction after surgical hand scrub antisepsis using the reference antiseptic product propan-ol-1 60% as control versus a surgical hand scrub antisepsis with addition of a solution of chlorhexidine digluconate and potassium sorbate in order to test if pass the standard european norm 12791.
Detailed description
The investigators conducted a crossover clinical trial to evaluate the antiseptic effectiveness of preoperative surgical scrubbing using propan-ol-1 60% by scrub using the reference antiseptic product propan-ol-1 60% as control versus a surgical hand scrub antisepsis with addition of a solution of chlorhexidine digluconate and potassium sorbate in order to test if pass the standard european norm 12791. Samples will be taken from the hands of each volunteer after a surgical hands antiseptic.

| Change of bacterial load measured in CFU immediately after hand scrub | Change from bacterial load at 5 minutes | Participants will scrub the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handrub procedure |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change of bacterial loadmeaured in CFU after 3 hours of hand scrub | Change from bacterial load at 3 hours | Participants will scrub the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handrub procedure after 3 hours |
