Pre-surgical Antisepsis of Hands After Washing With Triclosan 0.5% Compared to Propan-1-ol 60%

Effect on the Reduction of Bacterial Load in Surgical Antisepsis of Hands After Washing With Triclosan 0.5% Compared to Propan-1-ol 60% Used as Reference Disinfectant

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.

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.
