Ensuring the Compatibility of Our Disinfectants Is a Top Priority
While no disinfectant can guarantee absolute compatibility with all materials, our rigorous in-house testing, strategic collaborations with medical device manufacturers, and stringent external testing at ISO 17025 accredited laboratories for final material compatibility evaluations—affirm that our disinfectants are exceptionally suited for a broad spectrum of surfaces, encompassing various metals, plastics, and polymers.
Note
-
No visible surface damage or effect on the material is likely to occur when used according to label directions. No change to the integrity of the material is expected.
-
Some visible surface damage such as tarnishing or clouding may be seen with long-term exposure. Little to no effect on material intergrity is expected. Periodic wiping of surfaces with a clean damp cloth to remove residue can help to minimize damage.
-
Visible damage to the surface is likely to occur with long-term exposure and some effect on material integrity is possible. Surfaces should be wiped with a clean damp cloth immediately after the contact time has been reached to reduce the risk of damage. Users should evaluate the risk of surface damage vs the benefits of disinfectant efficacy against pathogens to determine whether the products is appropriate for use.
Ensuring Safe Hand Washing and Disinfection
Hand hygiene is not only vital for public health but also brings the aspect of skin compatibility into focus. The choice of hand disinfectants and the frequency of use can significantly impact the skin's well-being. Ensuring the compatibility of products with the skin is crucial, as harsh or aggressive formulations can lead to dryness, redness, and discomfort. As the importance of hand disinfection is emphasized, the selection of products that are gentle on the skin, containing moisturizing ingredients to mitigate any potential adverse effects should also be a priority.
Skin-Friendly Hand Wash and Disinfectants: Promoting Effective Hygiene and Skin Compatibility
Hand wash and disinfectants play a crucial role in maintaining personal hygiene and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. These products, commonly available in the form of gels, foams, or sprays, contain active ingredients such as alcohol or other antimicrobial agents that kill or inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses, on the skin's surface.
One often overlooked aspect of these products is their compatibility with the skin. Skin compatibility refers to the product›s ability to cleanse and sanitize the hands effectively without causing irritation, dryness, or other adverse reactions. It is of paramount importance because frequent use of harsh or incompatible disinfectants can lead to skin problems, including dermatitis, redness, and cracking. A compromised skin barrier resulting from a skin issue renders humans more susceptible to pathogen infiltration.
Skin-friendly hand wash and disinfectants are formulated with ingredients that not only ensure effective hygiene but also maintain the skin›s natural moisture balance. These products often contain emollients, moisturizers, and humectants that keep the skin soft, supple, and hydrated even after repeated use. Considering the hands are one of the primary mediums through which infections can spread, it is essential to use disinfectants that promote skin compatibility. This ensures that individuals are more likely to adhere to proper hand hygiene practices consistently, ultimately contributing to the overall effectiveness of infection control efforts.
In summary, hand disinfectants that prioritize skin compatibility are vital tools in the fight against infections. At Oro Clean Chemie AG, we make it our priority to manufacture products that are gentle on the skin so individuals are more likely to maintain regular hand hygiene, thus reducing the risk of disease transmission and promoting overall public health.
FAQ
-
Why is hand hygiene so important?
Hands are the most common vehicle for the transmission of infections. Therefore, hand hygiene—which consists of washing, disinfection, and skin care—is one of the most important measures to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases. Appropriate hand care also helps to maintain the natural protective barrier of your skin against microorganisms which is absolutely essential for proper hand disinfection.
-
Why is hand washing not sufficient?
Hand washing will not significantly reduce the number of pathogens, even if antiseptic hand soap is used. Only hand disinfection using a product with proven bactericidal, tuberculocidal, yeasticidal, and virucidal activity will inactivate pathogenic germs and thus prevent transmission of infectious disease. In addition, repeated washing stresses the skin, therefore hands should not be washed too often. If there is no visible contamination, hand disinfection is a more suitable option.
-
How can I prevent skin irritation or dryness due to frequent hand washing and disinfection?
In general, products used for hand hygiene, such as wash lotions and hand rubs should contain skin-care ingredients such as a moisturizer. These ingredients serve to counteract potential skin irritations. Substances that might be harmful or known to increase the risk for allergies, such as chlorhexidine, gluconate, or benzalkonium chloride, should be avoided. In addition, hands should not be washed too often because washing stresses skin more than disinfection with an alcoholic hand rub containing skin conditioners. Another important element of proper hand hygiene is the use of a moisturizing hand cream. Applied at the end of the working day and before long breaks, this practice will help to maintain healthy skin.
