“…A more recent three‐year study of respiratory infection rates in a day care facility for older adults found that instituting an alcohol foam for supplemental hand washing did not reduce the respiratory infection rate 7 . In contrast, another set of researchers reported the use of an alcohol formulation as part of a regimen of infection control measures that were implemented successfully to reduce the incidence of ventilator‐associated pneumonia caused by methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus 8 …”

With the use of novel formulary technology, unique moisturizing hand gels have been developed that offer significant advantages in perioperative and other health care settings. These advantages include the time-saving capabilities of a waterless formulation, the persistence and effectiveness of a surgical scrub, and the moisturization and protective properties of a lotion. Extensive laboratory and clinical studies, involving in vivo antimicrobial activity against resident and transient flora, skin moisturization on normal and dry skin, and compatibility with latex gloves, have supported these advantages. Nondrying alcohol hand gels can be used for antiseptic hand washing, hand scrubs between procedures (i.e., reentry scrubs), brushless surgical scrubs, moisturizers, and glove-donning aids.
