products.

tables and trolleys may require regular
cleaning and disinfection.
• Choose products based on surface
compatibility, active ingredients and
recommended concentration.
• Follow the required contact time and
manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
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.
