RT Journal Article T1 Effect on the reduction of bacterial load after surgical hand antisepsis with triclosan 0.5% compared to triclosan 0.5% followed by 70% alcoholic solution A1 Santé Serna, Luis Narciso A1 Gómez-Lus Centelles, María Luisa A1 Martin Villa, Carlos A1 Becerro De Bengoa Vallejo, Ricardo A1 Alou Cervera, Luis A1 Sevillano Fernández, David AB Triclosan 0.5% by scrubbing does not meet the UNE-EN12791 criteria to be used in the surgical hand preparation (SHP). Triclosan 0.5% by scrubbing followed by ethanol 70% hand rubbing is suitable without the additional characteristic of sustained effect. This limited effectiveness implies that triclosan should be avoided in SHP given the restrictions on its use in consumer antiseptic products. The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT04538365).
