Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer

While handwashing with soap and water is the most effective way to stop the spread of germs, hand sanitizers are an option when soap and water are not accessible. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), regular use of antibacterial hand sanitizers may help curb the spread of dangerous viral illnesses such as COVID-19. Keeping hand sanitizers easily accessible across your clinic or facility encourages your staff and visitors to use this disinfecting agent frequently, which help keeps everyone safe and healthy. CeilBlue™ carries several types of hand sanitizing gels, antibacterial hand lotions and dispensing solutions, promoting greater hand hygiene among staff, practitioners and visitors.

What to look for in a hand sanitizer

Sanitizer comes in the form of a liquid, gel or foam that's applied directly on the hands. When shopping for an antibacterial sanitizer, check the ingredients label carefully to ensure it contains 60 to 95% alcohol content. Alcohol is the key ingredient to help kill viruses, germs and bacteria. A hand sanitizer may also contain other ingredients such as water, fragrance and moisturizers. However, keep in mind that any product that contains alcohol content below 60% is not as effective against viruses and germs. Some hand sanitizers also feature alternative ingredients such as coconut oil, but, without 60 to 90% alcohol content in it, a hand sanitizer is ineffective. To use the product, ensure your hands are clean and free of dirt and grime before applying antiseptic hand sanitizer. Then, apply a dime-sized amount to the palm of your hand, and rub both hands together, coating all surfaces of the hands and fingers, allowing them to air dry for a few seconds. In addition to good hygiene, other measures such as wearing face masks, workplace disinfection and social distancing may be effective in stopping the surge of COVID-19.

Keeping your staff safe is important

Healthcare professionals are at an increased risk of contracting infections, especially when they're dealing with a highly transmissible virus such as COVID-19. Providing your staff and practitioners with workplace wellness consumables may help protect them from contracting infectious diseases. This gives them a sense of security, boosting their enthusiasm to administer top-quality healthcare.
