Clinical Trial Summary

Hand sanitizers are a standard of hygiene requirements. Hand sanitizers must be effective at reducing germ count on the hands while ideally providing emollients to moisturize the skin after use. To improve compliance with hand sanitizing protocols, hand sanitizers should provide a pleasant touch and feel experience for end users, especially for healthcare worker (HCW) users, who use these products frequently.


Clinical Trial Description

Hand sanitizers are a standard of hygiene requirements. Hand sanitizers are a standard tool frequently used in hospital settings by healthcare (HCWs) for hand disinfection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that HCWs should use an alcohol-based hand rub, such as a hand sanitizer, or wash their hands with soap and water immediately before and after patient contact, during aseptic tasks, after contact with blood, bodily fluids, or contaminated surfaces, and immediately after glove removal. 1 Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on hand hygiene state that alcohol-based handrubs rapidly and effectively inactivate a wide array of potentially harmful microorganisms on hands. 2 Hand sanitizers must be effective at reducing germ count on the hands while ideally providing emollients to moisturize the skin after use. To improve compliance with hand sanitizing protocols, hand sanitizers should provide a pleasant touch and feel experience for users, especially for healthcare worker (HCW) users. The goal of this study is to evaluate the user touch and feel experience of two hand sanitizer foam products produced by Medline and GOJO when the products are used by HCWs. ;
