PDI has introduced a new 70 percent ethyl alcohol formulation of its Sani-Hands sanitizing wipe, the only 70 percent alcohol-based hand sanitizing wipe approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States' market.
The new formulation meets evidence-based guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization for hand hygiene in healthcare settings, which call for an alcohol concentration between 60 and 90 percent when hands are not visibly soiled.
Additionally, Sani-Hands Individual Hand Sanitizing Wipes now come in a 2,000-count bulk package to encourage point-of-use dispensing.
"Our goal is to make effective hand hygiene products that are easily accessible to everyone in a healthcare facility," said John Dabney, associate product manager for PDI, in a news release. "This new bulk delivery format will allow for easy storage and access to individual alcohol-based hand sanitizing wipes for placement on dietary trays and in procedural kits."
