removes dirt and soil better than gels and foams. “Because the wipe physically removes soil from the hands via mechani- cal friction, there is no build-up on the user’s hands, as is common with many alcohol-based gels and foams.” Citing a recently published study, Garrett says Sani-Hands wipes dem- onstrated sustained improvements in overall Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores by engaging the pa- tients in efforts to prevent HAIs through HH.3


“Sani-Hands Instant Hand Sanitizing Wipes have been proven in multiple


clinical studies to reduce rates of HAIs and HCAHPS scores,” he said, adding that compre- hensive educational resources for professionals and patients, product info, and compliance tools can be found online at PDIHC.com. In addition to on- going clinical support, Garrett said, “Our Sani-Hands Bedside Pack includes educational icons on the packaging to reinforce key moments for HH. We also


have wall charts, in-service videos, and patient-education videos. Continuing- education programs are available on infec- tion-prevention and are available through the PDI Clinical Affairs Team.” HPN
