Antisepsis
Conditions
Brief summary
The present study evaluates the effects of bactericidal load reduction after surgical hand antisepsis using the reference antiseptic product propanol- 1 60% as control versus a surgical hand antisepsis with addition of a solution of alcohol, 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 surgical hand antisepsis using propan-ol-1 60% by using the reference antiseptic product propan-ol-1 60% as control versus a surgical hand antisepsis with addition of a solution of alcohol, 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.
Interventions
DRUGHand antisepsis with Propanolol- 1 60%.
* Pre-washing for one minute with neutral soap to remove the transient flora. * Hand antisepsis using Propanolol-1 60% in both hands. * Bacterial sample collection from right hand. * Sterile surgical glove in both hands. * Bacterial sample collection from left hand three hours later
DRUGHand antisepsis with a solution of alcohol, chlorhexidine digluconate and potassium sorbate.
* Pre-washing for one minute with neutral soap to remove the transient flora. * Hand antisepsis using a solution of alcohol, chlorhexidine digluconate and potassium sorbate. * Bacterial sample collection from right hand. * Sterile surgical glove in both hands. * Bacterial sample collection from left hand three hours later.

| Reduction of bacterial load 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Reduction of bacterial load 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 |
