Infection Control, 1984
AbstractThe purpose of hygienic hand disinfection is to render hands safe after contact with pathogens. Comparing effects of disinfection procedures on infection ratios is too difficult for routine purposes but the degerming efficacy may be determined in laboratory tests with volunteers.

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1986One of the most efficient methods of restricting the transfer of infectious material from one patient to another is by the application of a handwashing and hand disinfection policy (Reybrouck, 1983).

Does hand care ruin hand disinfection?
Journal of Hospital Infection, 2001Hand washing and hand disinfection put considerable stress on the skin thus requiring specific hand care. It is important however that the care products do not impair the effect of hand disinfectants. We therefore investigated the interaction of two hand care products (oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions) on the microbicidal efficacy of different ...

Surgical hand disinfection reduces transient and sometimes permanent skin flora on the hands and thereby reduces the contamination of the surgical wound through small lesions, holes and damages to the gloves. Perforations of surgical gloves have been associated with a surgical site infection rate of 5.7%, compared to no perforation: 1.7%.
