Hydroalcoholic or hydro-alcoholic gel (known by the acronym GHA) is a skin sanitizing gel. It is used to ensure hand hygiene. It acts by direct and mechanical contact (friction) and is used without water. Hydroalcoholic gel has bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal properties, without a cleaning effect. They should be applied to dry, unsoiled hands. Performing hand hygiene using hydroalcoholic friction has become a procedure recommended by the WHO with equal opportunity to use one of the hand hygiene methods: the procedure is faster, more effective and better tolerated than washing with water and antiseptic soap. It helps improve user compliance and allows them to follow recommendations relating to good hygiene practices. What is the benefit of hydroalcoholic gel? Effectiveness and persistence: hydroalcoholic solutions have a broad spectrum of action against microorganisms. Skin tolerance: SHAs contain an emollient agent and are hypoallergenic, they are better tolerated than hand disinfection by traditional washing with water and soap. Speed: for optimal effectiveness, the contact time should be at least ten to fifteen seconds, the total duration of the procedure is on average thirty seconds, while the antiseptic wash lasts two minutes. User compliance: ease and simplicity of use, reduced size and packaging, installation in locations without water points, multiple indications. What is the purpose of the hydroalcoholic gel application procedure? The hand hygiene procedure using a hydroalcoholic solution must follow a specific sequence: Hands must be clean and dry, and after checking for any contraindications; Fill the palm of one hand with 3 ml of hydroalcoholic solution; Apply the hand sanitizer to both hands, rubbing them together until dry, remembering to apply the product between the fingers and thumbs: Palm to palm, Palm of the right hand to the back of the left hand and vice versa, Palm to palm, fingers interlaced, Back of fingers against the opposite palm with fingers interlocked, Circularly rub the right thumb against the left palm and vice versa, Pads of the fingers of the right hand against the left palm and vice versa, Right ulnar ridge and vice versa, Right wrist then left wrist. The entire procedure can take up to thirty seconds to ensure your hands are completely dry. Good friction quality during application allows good penetration of softening emollient agents and therefore good protection of the skin. What is the microbiological effectiveness of hydroalcoholic gel? GHA acts on a broad spectrum of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Their effectiveness on vegetative bacteria is a hundred times greater on commensal flora compared to all antiseptic soaps available on the European market. The effectiveness of GHA depends directly on its chemical composition and in particular on its alcohol content. Thus, ethanol at 80% by volume is unlikely to be sufficiently effective against poliovirus, calicivirus (FCV), polyomavirus, hepatitis A virus (HAV), and foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). The virucidal activity spectrum of ethanol titrated to 95% by volume, however, covers the majority of clinically relevant viruses. Not all products on the market are equal. With the H5N1 and H1N1 epidemics, among others, there is a very large supply of opportunistic products whose compositions and effectiveness are not all equivalent. It is advisable to choose products that meet the following standards: Bacteriicidal effect: NF EN 1040 and NF EN 1500; Virucidal effect: NF EN 14476, which defines effectiveness against influenza viruses (H1N1, H5N1, H3N2), coronavirus (SARS), HIV, rotavirus (gastroenteritis), herpes, poliovirus, adenovirus, etc.; Fungicidal effect: NF EN 1275. Following the publication in 2018 of a study on the in vitro tolerance of certain strains of Enterococcus faecium, a bacterium responsible for enterococcal infections, to a low concentration of alcohol (23%), a series of major media outlets, including Reuters, The Guardian, Forbes, CNN, and Der Spiegel, published alarming articles on the minimal effectiveness of hydroalcoholic gel for hand disinfection against multi-resistant organisms, in this case vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE). In response, researchers from the University of Geneva and INSERM published an article in November 2020 in the Swissnoso bulletin (an association bringing together the most eminent specialists in the field of nosocomial infectious diseases and hospital hygiene in Switzerland) which denounced the harmful effect of false information "in the field of infection prevention and control and hand hygiene".
