Abstract
An alcohol based hand surgical scrub, which includes cationic anti-microbial agent preservatives, cationic polymer film-forming agents and a skin emollient, and provides a long term residual, anti-microbial “invisible glove” on the skin. The composition provides an immediate reduction in bacterial microbes. The polymer system creates an invisible film on the skin following solvent evaporation. This invisible film provides a lasting anti-microbial barrier on the skin which acts to prevent microbial growth.
