Warning: Hygi Gel not a disinfectant because the removal of bacteria is done mechanically, through rubbing of the hands.

 

Hand sanitisation

A powerful antibacterial effect can be achieved by using this highly alcohol-based sanitising gel. In fact, the alcohol-based gel has a bactericidal effect against germs and bacteria. In fact, although not technically classifiable as a disinfectant, the product provides an important viruricidal effect to reduce the risk of infection with covid-19 or other corona viruses.

The sanitising effect is achieved by using a small amount of gel, equivalent to about 3-4 grains of rice, and rubbing the palm and back strongly, following theWorld Health Organisation.

Indeed, it is the hands that are the main vehicle for infection by the new coronavirus Sars-cov2 or covid19. Therefore, effective hand sanitisation with a product such as Hygi gel, with a high alcohol content, can quickly and effectively reduce the risk of infection.

We recommend paying special attention to how to sanitise your hands carefully to achieve the desired antivirus effect.

Why use sanitising gel?

The hand sanitising gel has the function to clean hands without using water and without the need to rinse and dry them. In fact, cleaning is done by rubbing the gelled solution on the surface of the hands. Drying takes place in the air.

Since the content is typically denatured ethyl alcoholIt is able to act on the hands quickly and evaporate. At the same time, the mechanical rubbing action results in the elimination of bacteria and viruses.

The main function of these products is to ensure good hand hygiene in all situations where hand washing is not possible. Therefore, the use of these products is ideal not only against the corona-virus epidemic, but also in all those real-life situations where one comes into contact with equipment and elements that can be touched by many people. For example, trolley handles when shopping or handrails on trams or buses, etc.

 

How are hand sanitising gels used?

The hand-washing sanitising gel offered in this advertisement, as well as all competing ones, should only and exclusively be used on the hands and not on other parts of the body. It should also not be used to clean objects or surfaces. There are products specifically designed for this type of activity.

All it takes to perform its action is a small amount of gel applied to the palm of one hand. Then simply rub the handwash gel into the palm of the other hand and continue with the rubbing action until the product is dry. Normally, when used in normal quantities, the procedure takes no longer than 30 seconds or a minute at most.

It is important to remember that it is always good to wash your hands with soap and water whenever possible. This is even more important when they are really dirty.

In addition, the hand-washing gel should not be used excessivelyespecially those with an alcohol base. The alcohol component of hand-wash gel can sensitise the skin and redden the epidermis. If you think you will have to use handwash gel frequently, it is advisable to buy one of the hydrogen peroxide-based solutions, i.e. hydrogen peroxide.

 

When should hand sanitising gel be used?

Hand sanitising gels, which do not require rinsing, can be useful in various situations, such as:

• outside the home, during excursions, if you eat something in the street, after handling objects in a shop;
• when travelling, when coming into contact with points subject to the passage of the public, such as those on planes, trains, subways or buses;
• after using the toilet, changing a nappy, littering or touching shoes;
• every time you blow your nose, cough or sneeze;
• before treating a wound, taking medicine and after touching a sick or injured person;
• after contact with an animal, its toy or leash.

 

Ways to sanitise hands with hand-washing gel

The procedure to be followed, as mentioned above, is similar to that for hand washing with soap. One applies a small amount of gel in the palm of a hand, in principle no more than a walnut, but even less. One hand is massaged over the other in order to distribute the product, passing it from the fingertips to the wrist, between the fingers and under the nails (where most bacteria nest).

It continues with the rubbing, even vigorous rubbing, for at least thirty seconds. Rings and bracelets should be removed at this stage, if possible, to facilitate the best possible sanitisation.

You should end the activity when you feel that the product has dried on your hands.

After the conclusion of the procedure, no need to rinse hands. It is not appropriate to apply cream or ointments to the hands after the gel sanitisation activity has ended.
