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

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.

About this study

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.

Treatment and study plan

Triclosan 0.5 % Topical Solution

Drug

Hand antisepsis by scrub Surgical Hand scrubbing using triclosan 0.5% solution both hands using a sterile disposable surgical scrub brush with plastic bristles on one side and a foam sponge on the other side

Other names: Hand antisepsis with Triclosan 0.5% solution.

Propanolol

Drug

Hand antisepsis by scrub Surgical Hand scrubbing using Propanolol 60% solution both hands using a sterile disposable surgical scrub brush with plastic bristles on one side and a foam sponge on the other side

Other names: Hand antisepsis with Propanolol 60% solution

Primary outcomes

  1. Reduction of bacterial load immediately after hand scrub

    Time frame: Change from bacterial load at 5 minutes

    Participants will scrub with the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handscrub procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. Reduction of bacterial load after 3 hours of hand scrub

    Time frame: Change from bacterial load after 3 hours

    Participants will scrub with the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handscrub after 3 hours
