Cutan Foam Hand Sanitiser - A Revolution in Hand Decontamination
Alcohol based sanitisers have long been used in healthcare settings to help staff achieve the necessary standard of hand hygiene at the point where care is delivered. Now Deb has taken a significant step which is set to revolutionise hand sanitising with the introduction of Cutan Foam Hand Sanitiser.
Four reasons why Cutan Foam Hand Sanitiser is rapidly becoming the number one choice amongst healthcare professionals
1. Preferred by users
Independent research demonstrates that 84% of users prefer alcohol foam to their regular sanitiser. Cutan Foam Hand Sanitiser is dermatologically tested to show the product is mild and non-irritant. It is toxicologically approved with the formulation assessed by a toxicologist and declared ‘non-toxic’ and is hypoallergenic. In-vivo skin hydration measurements using a Corneometer demonstrate increased skin moisture levels following regular product use. The product does not induce antibacterial resistance and is a ‘non taint’ formula, making it safe to use when handling food. Put simply, staff find the product appealing and are therefore more inclined to use it.
2. Cost effective
Cutan Foam Hand Sanitiser is available in a variety of pack sizes and formats designed to be highly cost effective in use. From just a few pennies per day, every employee and visitor can have access to the product. For a relatively modest cost, the use of Cutan Foam Hand Sanitiser, in combination with normal hand washing, can help significantly reduce the risk of infections being transmitted.
3. Independently tested for proven effectiveness
Cutan Foam Hand Sanitiser kills 99.999% of many common germs, viruses and microorganisms instantly. This broad spectrum of germicidal activity is supported by independent testing in world renowned laboratories. Cutan Foam Hand Sanitiser has undergone the following microbial tests:
- Bactericidal tests — meets the requirements of EN1276 and conforms to the requirements of EN1500 in only 15 seconds
