Clinical Trial 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.

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

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Reduction of bacterial load immediately after hand scrub	Participants will scrub with the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handscrub procedure	Change from bacterial load at 5 minutes
Secondary	Reduction of bacterial load after 3 hours of hand scrub	Participants will scrub with the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handscrub after 3 hours	Change from bacterial load after 3 hours
