Alcohol-free antimicrobial liquid hand soap cartridges (800ml pouch for wall-mounted dispensers)
Description
Continu Anti-Microbial Soap Pouch 800ml is an alcohol-free antimicrobial liquid hand soap supplied in sealed, disposable 800ml cartridges for use in compatible wall-mounted dispensers. Developed primarily for medical and dental environments, the soap is designed to comply with HTM 01-05 guidance, which recommends wall-mounted dispensers with disposable cartridges rather than refillable bulk containers. The fragrance-free, alcohol-free formulation is gentle on skin, making it suitable for frequent hand washing, including for surgical scrubs and for cleaning hands between patients and procedures. The product conforms to EN14476 for virucidal activity and provides effective antimicrobial hand hygiene without the dryness and irritation commonly associated with alcohol-based products.

Usage

- Rub hands together thoroughly, covering all surfaces of the hands, fingers, thumbs, fingertips and wrists, paying particular attention to fingernails and areas between the fingers.
- Continue rubbing for the contact time recommended in local hand hygiene protocol (commonly at least 20–30 seconds for routine hand washing, longer for surgical scrub if used as part of such a protocol).
- Rinse hands thoroughly with clean running water if available, ensuring all soap residue is removed.
- Dry hands carefully using a clean, single-use paper towel or other approved hand-drying method.
- Dispose of paper towels in an appropriate waste container according to local infection control policies.
- Replace the 800ml pouch when empty in accordance with the dispenser instructions; do not attempt to refill or reuse cartridges.
