HandsFirst Hand Sanitizer - Up to 3 Hours of Protection

Raise your hand if it is pretty much germ free. Now, raise your hand if it is still 99% germ free 3 hours later.  Usually not many hands would still be up in the air for the second question but now you can keep that hand up in the air because Rehabmart is proud to introduce a brand new hand sanitizer invented by Dr. Roger Huckfeldt, the Medical Director for St. John's Research Institute.

HandsFirst Hand Sanitizer is a non-alcohol, hydrating sanitizing foam which can help guard against over 99% of germ recontamination for up to three hours while it nourishes your skin with Allantoin and Aloe Vera.

                                    

There are a number of both alcohol and Benzalkonium based hand sanitizers offered (at last count, over 20 different hand sanitizers are currently on the market), all of them reportedly kill at least 99.9% of germs. Some go on to claim the protection will continue for several hours, but they seem to be talking about preventing the regrowth of the user's own bacteria without any mention of any form of protection from recontamination from real world things that most people use or touch, such as doorknobs, cash, keyboards, countertops, and other people hands.

Simply said, HandsFirst does more than just temporarily sanitize a person's hands until they touch a public doorknob or reach out to assist a patient. HandsFirst performs four different functions; this product sanitizes, cleans, protects and hydrates.

                        

An approved study was devised that took healthy volunteers and had them apply a single dose of Hands First onto their hands, then, without them touching anything, let them sit for three hours. At the three-hour mark, 5.4 TRILLION bacteria were rubbed on their hands, and then a sophisticated method was used to collect the live bacteria and counted the results. After three hours, Hands First was still 99% effective at killing everyday bacteria and viruses. This shows that HandsFirst is a highly developed and specialized formulation that when compared to benzalkonium applied alone on human skin, has shown a significant superiority in efficacy against a broad range of bacteria, fungi and viruses.  

When a person has dirt and grime on their hands, they must first find some soap and water to be able to wash it off before they can use a hand sanitizer. But what if there isn't any soap and water or someone is too busy to always go to a sink to wash? Wiping their hands on their pants or a paper towel won't really do the trick, but HandsFirst contains ingredients known as surfactants which work to clean and remove dirt, grime, and oils from the skin in a rapidly self drying formulation while you sanitize 

Also most hand sanitizers cannot be used if there are cuts and scrapes on the skin, and really, how many working people have hands that are free of cuts and scrapes? HandsFirst has a stabilized active skin protectant that has been incorporated to provide not only a formula that doesn't sting, but one that actually provides temporary PROTECTION for those minor cuts, scrapes, burns, cracked and open skin.

And talking about cracked skin, one of the biggest problems with hand sanitizers is the painful drying and cracked skin produced by repeated use, especially of alcohol based sanitizers. HandsFirst was designed to be a skin-healthy solution. Scientifically formulated, pH balanced, and stabilized to provide hydration and nourishment to the skin, HandsFirst™ won't cause painful drying and cracked skin like traditional sanitizers can.

I would guess that most people would agree that in many circumstances that hand sanitization can be important, especially in environments such as healthcare institutions. While this is important to hospitals and nursing homes, another important consideration is the cost. With many hand sanitizers, the dispensing cost is the bottom line cost. This is the cost per person per bottle pump compression. For example, the 1.7 ounce foaming bottle of HandsFirst yields 225 of .25 ml dispenses, the hand wash cost is about $0.019 cents per wash. This $0.019 per wash includes providing hours of protection and only having to use .25 ml per wash.   So, in a nutshell, a healthcare agency is now able to use a hand sanitizer that not only kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria for up to 3hours without another application, they will also get a hand sanitizer that also cleans without soap and water, protects minor cuts and abrasions against infection, doesn't dry out and crack skin, and compared to the cost per application of $0.0206 for alcohol gel-based generic hand sanitizer, is less expensive to use.
