The Fight Against Superbug MRSA Continues
Hospitals have now found a new weapon to help control infection
on hospital wards. Purell Instant Hand Sanitiser with moisturisers and vitamin E, is an alcohol-based waterless gel used to supplement routine hand washing.
It kills 99.99% of common germs within 15 seconds without soap or water. Purell Instant Hand Sanitiser is ideal for use in healthcare facilities.It contains 62% ethyl alcohol which is a highly effective antimicrobial agent against bacteria including MRSA and VRE. It meets the protocol for OSHA standards by helping to protect against a wide range of germs that amy cause disease. Since the NHS changed its contract to Purell, alcohol gel dispensers have been placed outside all ward areas as well as in all cubicles.
The gel is quicker than handwashing and reduces skin irritation that can be caused by frequent washing using soap and water. Purell leaves no residue, and is formulated with
moisturisers to increas skin hydration. The NHS is hoping that all benefits of Purell will encourage staff, visitors and patients to use it frequently.
