Overview
Brief Summary
The present study evaluates the effects of bactericidal load reduction after surgical hand scrub antisepsis using the reference antiseptic product propan-ol-1 60% as control versus a surgical hand scrub antisepsis with addition of a solution of chlorhexidine digluconate and potassium sorbate in order to test if pass the standard european norm 12791.
Detailed Description
The investigators conducted a crossover clinical trial to evaluate the antiseptic effectiveness of preoperative surgical scrubbing using propan-ol-1 60% by scrub using the reference antiseptic product propan-ol-1 60% as control versus a surgical hand scrub antisepsis with addition of a solution of chlorhexidine digluconate and potassium sorbate in order to test if pass the standard european norm 12791. Samples will be taken from the hands of each volunteer after a surgical hands antiseptic.

Change of bacterial load measured in CFU immediately after hand scrub
Time Frame: Change from bacterial load at 5 minutes
Participants will scrub the antiseptic solution vigorously from hand to the wrists according with the standard handrub procedure
