Alcohol-based healthcare personnel hand antiseptics are intended for frequent, repeated use. Therefore, dermal tolerance is critical: In Human Repeat Insult Patch skin testing with 213 test persons, Sterillium Comfort Gel did not demonstrate any potential for eliciting dermal irritation or sensitization at all points in time3. Sterillium Comfort Gel increases skin moisture content when used frequently.
Sterillium Comfort Gel significantly increases skin hydration after only one week of product usage compared to untreated skin4.
In the United States, one of every 136 patients becomes severely ill as a result of hospital-acquired infections (HAI)5, leading to about 80,000 deaths per year6. Better hand hygiene compliance could prevent a large number of these frightful losses. Compliance is intrinsically tied to product acceptance. With Sterillium Comfort Gel, you have a product that can help overcome potential barriers to compliance.
Sterillium Comfort Gel not only meets the FDA requirements with an application amount of 2.4 mL, it far exceeds them2.
