SURGICAL HAND DISINFECTION

The aim of surgical hand disinfection is the reduction of bacterial flora and elimination of microorganisms from hands of surgeons for the time of surgery. It is the necessary method used in combination with the protective clothing, mainly surgical gloves. Hand hygiene during the surgical operations is the most important mean of protection against crossed infections. It has to be remembered that surgical gloves do not give fully effective protection due to possibility of micro-cracks through which the microorganisms can penetrate.
