Good handwashing techniques can prevent the
spread of infectious organisms:
- From one patient to another,
- From the patient to the health care provider, and
- From the health care provider to the patient.
The traditional method of handwashing involves the use of soap and warm
water, before and after caring for patients. But in many military
settings, this technique is not available.
Alcohol Gel can substitute for soap and warm water:
- Place a "palmful" of the Alcohol Gel in one hand.
- Use both hands to spread the gel over all surfaces.
- Allow the gel to dry. This takes 1-2 minutes.
- Place a smaller amount of the Alcohol Gel in one hand.
- Repeat the spreading and drying, using both hands. This will take
about 30 seconds.
Alcohol Gel is suitable for repeated use.
