HAND HYGIENE & HANDRUBS Hand hygiene is an essential part of routine healthcare practices, as healthcare professionals regularly come into contact with patients, medical equipment and various surfaces. Alcohol-based handrubs offer a convenient option when hands are not visibly soiled and are used according to product instructions. Regular hand hygiene supports infection-control practices, helps maintain hand cleanliness and provides a practical solution for frequent use in hospitals, clinics and other healthcare environments. SurgiNatal offers a range of healthcare hygiene products from established medical brands. SURGICAL SKIN PREPARATION Before certain medical procedures, appropriate skin-preparation products may be used to help reduce microorganisms at the procedure site. Preparations containing chlorhexidine and alcohol are commonly used in healthcare settings, depending on the intended application and manufacturer’s guidelines. For example, SurgiNatal offers 3M Skin Prep Solution with CHG and 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. When selecting a skin-preparation product, healthcare professionals should consider the procedure type, application site, patient requirements, active ingredients, product instructions and recommended drying or contact time. HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCT Choosing the right antiseptic or disinfectant starts with understanding where and how the product is intended to be used. Products designed for skin should not be used on medical equipment or environmental surfaces unless specifically approved, while surface disinfectants should not be applied to the body. Selecting the appropriate product helps support safe and effective healthcare hygiene practices. Before purchasing, consider the intended application, active ingredients, concentration, pack size, contact time, material compatibility and storage requirements. It is also important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and choose a product based on the specific healthcare requirement rather than price alone. SAFE USE & HANDLING Disinfection and antiseptic products should always be used and handled carefully to ensure safe and effective application. Using the wrong concentration, applying a product to an unsuitable surface or not following the recommended contact time can reduce its effectiveness and may lead to safety concerns. Always read the product label, follow the recommended concentration and use the product only for its intended purpose. Products should be stored as directed, containers kept properly closed and chemicals should never be mixed unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer. Healthcare professionals should also follow relevant institutional protocols and safety guidelines. WHY CHOOSE SURGINATAL?
