Antibacterial hand wipes

Description

Clinell Antibacterial Hand Wipes Pack of 200 are alcohol-free, pre-moistened antimicrobial hand wipes for cleaning and disinfecting hands when soap and water are not readily available. Using a patented blend of biocides, the wipes rapidly kill microorganisms (at least 99.999% of germs) while also physically removing dirt and organic soiling from the skin. Dermatologically tested and containing aloe vera and moisturisers, they are designed for frequent use in healthcare and community settings as an acceptable alternative to hand washing.

Bnefits

Cleans and disinfects hands in a single step, without the need for soap and water.
Proven to kill at least 99.999% of germs in as little as 10 seconds, with efficacy demonstrated against bacteria, fungi, mycobacteria and viruses.
Effective against enveloped viruses within 30 seconds, helping to reduce transmission of clinically important pathogens.
Alcohol-free formulation, suitable where alcohol-based products are not preferred or permitted.
Dermatologically tested and contains aloe vera and moisturisers to help maintain skin condition during frequent use.
Can be used on visibly dirty or soiled hands because the wipe contains surfactants that remove dirt as well as disinfect.
Large, strong non-woven wipes (approx. 160 mm x 180 mm; ~40 gsm spunlace polyester/viscose) provide good hand coverage.
Individually wrapped sachets supplied in a carton designed to work with dedicated wall-mounted dispensers, supporting compliance at the point of care.
