3M Hand Hygiene SolutionsHand hygiene is recognized as the

single most important factor in

preventing healthcare-associated

infections. But it’s not an easy task

when time is precious, and when

the elements used to clean hands —

soap, water and brushes — create

conditions that actually increase

shedding of bacteria from hands.

Water. Brushes. Microbes.

Your hands deserve better.

CDC Guideline1

U.S. guidelines recommend that agents used for surgical hand scrubs should substantially reduce microorganisms on intact skin, contain a nonirritating antimicrobial preparation, have broad-spectrum activity, and be fast-acting and persistent.”

3M Avagard Surgical Hand Prep provides rapid antimicrobial kill of a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant strains, and provides persistence for up to 6 hours.

“

CDC Guideline1

Surgical hand-antisepsis protocols have required personnel to scrub with a brush. But this practice can damage the skin of personnel and result in increased shedding of bacteria from hands. Several studies indicate that neither a brush nor a sponge is necessary to reduce bacterial counts on the hands of surgical personnel to acceptable levels, especially when alcohol-based products are used.”

3M Avagard Surgical Hand Prep is a brushless, scrubless hand antiseptic that contains 1% chlorhexidine gluconate solution and 61% w/w ethyl alcohol.

“

CDC Guideline1

Alcohol-based hand rubs containing emollients were better tolerated by health care workers than washing hands with non-antimicrobial soaps or antimicrobial soaps.”

3M Avagard D Instant Hand Antiseptic is more moisturizing and results in less redness and less skin breakdown with multiple daily uses than Purell® Instant Hand Sanitizer with moisturizers.

“

CDC Guideline1

One study conducted in an intensive-care unit demonstrated that it took nurses an average of 62 seconds to leave a patient's bedside, walk to a sink, wash their hands, and return to patient care. In contrast, an estimated one fourth as much time is required when using an alcohol-based hand rub placed at each patient’s bedside.”

3M Avagard D Instant Hand Antiseptic is available in pocket and pump bottle form, for convenient access. No special trips to a sink are required. It is CHG compatible and it kills more than 99% of harmful bacteria.

“

CDC Guideline1

Provide health care providers with hand lotions or creams in order to minimize the occurrence of irritant contact dermatitis associated with hand antisepsis or handwashing.”

3M Cavilon Moisturizing Lotion contains emollients for moisturizing and preventing dry skin. It can be used under latex gloves and does not affect the activity of chlorhexidine gluconate.

“

CDC Guideline1

Also, studies demonstrate that several hand lotions have reduced skin scaling and cracking, which may reduce microbial shedding from hands.”

3M Cavilon Moisturizing Lotion replenishes and soothes skin, making it easier for personnel to comply with facility policy concerning proper hand hygiene.

“

Surgical Hand ScrubbingTime is precious in the operating room. So although operating room personnel wouldn’tthink of not scrubbing before surgery, many often spend less than the recommendedamount of time doing it. This can affect the efficacy of antisepsis.

ion: Hand Washing

Though the importance of hand washing is well accepted, compliance with recommended handwashing procedures only averages approximately 40%. Obstacles to following facility protocolinclude understaffing, inconveniently located sinks, an unacceptable hand washing product,absence of paper towels or the presence of damaged skin caused by frequent hand washing.

Sit

uat

ion: Hand Moisturizing

Frequent hand washing is hard on hands. Surveys report approximately 75% of nurses have problemswith their hands, including “dry, scaly, cracked skin; red blotchy skin or stinging.” Damaged skin can contribute to the onset of healthcare-associated infection.
