Skinman Soft Protect is proven to improve skin tolerability and acceptability over time, across a range of skin-friendly criteria, using an established WHO protocol*.

Current WHO and ACORN guidelines recommend the use of alcohol based formulations for pre-operative hand preparation given their superior antimicrobial efficacy.
Reduced application time – A 90 second rub with Skinman Soft Protect complies with the requirements of EN12791. In addition, no rinsing with water is required and no drying of hands is required as the alcohol air dries.
Improved skin compatibility – Alcohol preparations have clearly demonstrated superior skin compatibility whereas aqueous based (povidone-iodine & chlorhexidine) solutions are known to be associated with skin irritation.
