sorbectol: Pre-surgical Antisepsis Using an Alcoholic Solution of Chlorhexidine Digluconate and Potassium Sorbate
Study Details
Study Description
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 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 Outcome Measures
- 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
