Q. Why use Foam Safe instead of alcohol rub products?
A. Alcohol/CHG and alcohol surgical products fail to remove debris from the hands because there is not surfactant or machanical washing to remove debris. In many cases dirt, debris, or pathogens such spores can remain on the skin when using only alcohol products.
Q. Which antiseptic can I use for the first scrub of the day?
A. Persistence and cumulative effect are the key. Persistence is the ability of the agent to continue reducing the number of batecteria after the initial application. Cumulative effect is the progressive decrease in the number of microorganisms recovered after repeated application of uses. CHG (Clorhexidine Gluconate) has both abilities.
Q. Can we eliminate our soap and brush if we decide to switch to Alcohol/CHG or Alcohol Rub products?
A. No. Soap and surgical brush will still be needed for handwashing when the hands are visible or possibly soiled. Remember the practice of frequent and proper handwashing in health care can prevent the spread of bacteria. According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "Hand washing is the single most important procedure for preventing nosocomial infections".
