HANDHYGIENEYOUR HANDSCLEANSING, DISINFECTION AND CARE

THE HAND AND SKIN CARE PRODUCTS OF B. BRAUNOver a period of years, B. Braun has developed and implemented a simple and convincing concept for professional hand hygiene. Mutually compatible products guarantee a particularly high level of skin tolerance.OUR CONCEPTYOUR BENEFITSKIN TOLERANCEPotential risk factors are eliminated in thedevelopment stage of each product by applying the principle: “avoidance throughprevention.”Good tolerability of the mutuallycompatible products.LONG-TERM USEHand disinfections with high effectivenessagainst bacteria, fungi and viruses.The products‘ effectiveness is based on acombination of alcohols, while avoidingother non volatile such as residual propertyfactors.A high-level of user safety even withlong-term use because alcohols havebeen thoroughly researched from atoxicological and allergenic perspective.LOW ALLERGENIC Fragrances are largely avoided. If they areused, then these substances and mixturesare carefully chosen for their low allergenicpotential.High product acceptance with lowrisk of sensitivity and allergic reactionswith long-term use.Preservatives are necessary, especiallywhen cleansing and skin care products aresupplied from dispensing systems. However,B. Braun only uses preservatives proven tohave an especially low allergenic potential.As a rule, the use of colouring agents is reduced to a minimum. Food colouring isused where colouring agents are required.PRODUCTQUALITY2B. Braun has a sophisticated quality assurance system, from the procurement of rawmaterials to shipping of the finished product.Consistently high, standardized productquality.

HAND HYGIENE: WHY, HOW AND WHEN?WHY?Thousands of people die every dayaround the world from infectionsacquired while receiving health care.Hands are the main pathways of germtransmission during health care.Hand hygiene is therefore the mostimportant measure to avoid the transmission of harmful germs and preventhealth care-associated infections.······WHO?Any health-care worker, caregiver orperson involved in direct or indirectpatient care needs to be concernedabout hand hygiene and should beable to perform it correctly and atthe right time.··HOW?Clean your hands by rubbing them withan alcohol-based formulation. This isthe preferred mean for routine hygienichand antisepsis if hands are not visiblysoiled. It is faster, more effective, andbetter tolerated by your hands thanwashing with soap and water.Wash your hands with soap and waterwhen hands are visibly dirty or visiblysoiled with blood or other body fluids aswell as after using the toilet.If exposure to potential spore-formingpathogens is strongly suspected or proven, including outbreaks of Clostridiumdifficile, hand washing with soap andwater is the preferred means.······See more educational content at the end of the brochure.There you find more information about when and how to perform hand hygiene.B. Braun engages collaboration with WHO.B. Braun is founding member of the Private Organisation for Patient Safety (POPS) ofthe World Health organisation (WHO). The goal is to achieve a reduction in health-careassociated infections through improvements in hand hygiene, based on the overall aimof the WHO Clean Care is Safer Care Programme.More about POPS: www.who.int/gpsc/pops/en/4

SURGICAL HAND PREPARATIONTechnique with an alcohol-based handrub formulationThe handrubbing technique for surgical hand preparation must be performed on perfectly clean, dry hands. On arrival in the operating theatre and after having donned theatre clothing (cap / hat / bonnet and mask), hands must be washed with soap and water.After the operation when removing gloves, hands must be rubbed with an alcohol-based formulation or washed with soap andwater if any residual talc or biological fluids are present (e.g. the glove is punctured).Surgical procedures may be carried out one after the other without the need for handwashing, provided that the handrubbingtechnique for surgical hand preparation is followed (images 1 to 17).1Put approx. 5 ml (3 doses) of alcoholbased handrub in the palm of your lefthand, using the elbow of your other armto operate the dispenser.4See legend for image 3.7See legend for image 3.362Dip the fingertips of your right hand inthe handrub to decontaminate under thenails (5 sec).5See legend for image 3.8Put approx. 5 ml (3 doses) of alcoholbased handrub in the palm of your righthand, using the elbow of your other armto operate the dispenser.3Images 3 –7: Smear the handrub on theright forearm up to the elbow.
