Your hospital is ghetto if it doesn't use Purell

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

Newsflash: Your hospital IS ghetto if it uses Purell. Actual hospitals use commercial stuff that doesn't dry your hands out and is of a medical grade. Truth.
 
Isn't Purell Target/Wal-mart grade?

Indeed. It's all about the foam, my friends:

your hospital uses the Kroger brand
 
Better hope you don't get C. Diff!
 
We have an automatic dispenser that excretes some kind of gel or foam depending on what you want. I guess it's more sanitary to not touch any buttons.
 
The one I volunteer at uses some foam that doesn't smell like straight up alcohol/****. Enjoy your ghetto.
 
Ghetto like this?

My hospital uses foam and has bottles of purell laying about the nurses stations. I prefer the purell lotion because it seems to get into some of the harder to reach places in my hands better.

Still nothing compares to soap and water.
 
To be absolutely safe, I prefer to slather my hands in industrial strength alcohol sanitizer and then light them on fire to burn off the excess and sterilize my hands.
 
The efficacy of two foams (Alcare plus and Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer) was determined according to EN 1500, using 1.61 ± 0.02 g per application (Alcare plus) and 1.60 ± 0.01 g (Purell), and a 30 s application time. Both foams were significantly less effective than the reference procedure of 2 × 3 mL applications of 60% isopropanol for 60 s (Table ​(Table2),2), and thus failed to meet the European efficacy requirements for hygienic hand disinfection.

I remember back in bio when we were doing the gram staining I got one of the coloring dyes on my gloves and hands, instead of changing the gloves and washing the hands I just rinsed them with the 95% alcohol like a man. Freshly clean burning feeling.

Even at home I prefer just going with regular rubbing alcohol rather than hand sanitizer.

And you had a slightly tipsy feeling after that too I bet. Alcohol diffusion amirite?
