Despite the wide variety of products and antiseptic agents, no agent is ideal for every situation. The investigators would like to evaluate the difference in reducing bacterial load, using 4% chlorhexidine digluconate and 3% parachlorometaxylenol after a preoperative surgical scrubbing.
The investigators conducted a controlled, prospective, randomized study to evaluate the antiseptic effectiveness of preoperative surgical scrubbing using 4% chlorhexidine digluconate and 3% parachlorometaxylenol. Samples were taken from the hands of each volunteer after a preparatory handwash, pre-surgical scrubbing, post-surgical scrubbing and 3 hours after surgical scrubbing.

| Preparatory handwash | Procedure | Preparatory handwash follows the UNE-EN 12791 standard using a diluted soft soap, 200g/1000g, made in community pharmacy service and sterilize in autoclave. Washing hands were prepared without use of a brush for 1 minute with 10 ml of soft soap. After being rinsed with running tap water, they are thoroughly dried with paper towels. |

The volunteers are randomly divided into two groups of the same size, by tossing a coin.
The recruitment process started in june 2015 and ended in august 2015, involving 20 healthy adult volunteers, who were recruited in Nursing, Physiotherapy and Podiatry School of Complutense University of Madrid.

| Preoperative surgical scrubbing using 3% PCMX | Procedure | Both hands were scrubbed using a sterile disposable surgical scrub brush with plastic bristles on one side and a foam sponge on the other side. The bristled side was used to scrub the entire hands, including all nails, palm and back of the hand, and interdigital spaces, and the foam side was used to rub between the fingers. Each side of each finger, between fingers and back al palm of the hand were rubbed for two and a half minute. Then, the forearms were rubbed from the wrist to the elbow, maintaining the hand highest than the arm, using a minute to wash each side. Both hands were rinsed by current water in an one-way (from the fingertips to the elbow), and wiped with a sterile disposable towel, including nails and interdigital spaces. |
