Hand care

Proper hand hygiene is your first line of defensedefence in protecting yourself and patients from organisms that cause healthcare-associated infections (HAI). This is why hand hygiene products are of such high importance. The CDC agrees that clean hands are one of the most important factors in preventing the spread of germs in healthcare settings.

Proper hand-washing techniques include washing your hands with soap and water as well as using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. With improper hand hygiene becoming a major component of infection cross-contamination, keeping staff in compliance with the CDC guidelines is a simple step in halting the spread of HAIs. Since the introduction of the CDC Guidelines for Hand Hygiene in Healthcare Settings, healthcare workers now have specific indications for preventing HAI that may ultimately save many lives. To sanitize hands that are not visibly soiled, the CDC recommends the use of alcohol-based hand rubs. The CDC also recommends products that contain emollients to reduce skin irritation and drying. Handkleen Rub 5 & Handkleen Rub Pro (alcohol-based) and emollient-filled antimicrobial soaps from genex encourage proper hand hygiene practice by making it efficient, convenient and comfortable for you and your staff.

Genex offers a series of soap and hand hygiene products to help protect against HAIs. Hand Rubs like Geneillium & Handkleen Rub support hand hygiene best practices to aid in preventing the spread of germs. Genex waterless hand sanitizers Handkleen Gel provide quick and easy solutions to soiled hands. These hand hygiene products also meet the requirements for such products as set out in the CDC Guidelines.
