Pre-surgical Antisepsis of Hands After Washing With Triclosan 0.5% Compared to Propan-1-ol 60%
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 propanol-
1 60% as control versus a surgical hand scrub antisepsis with triclosan 0.5% 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 trocilosan 0.5% 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
- Reduction of bacterial load immediately after hand scrub [Change from bacterial load at 5 minutes]
Participants will scrub with the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handscrub procedure
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Reduction of bacterial load after 3 hours of hand scrub [Change from bacterial load after 3 hours]
Participants will scrub with the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handscrub after 3 hours
