Previous studies evaluated the efficacy of the hydroalcoholic solution of 3% digluconate of chlorhexidine, 0.3% potassium sorbate and 70% ethanol, "Sorbectol" (Spanish patent ES 2 784 275 B2) in the surgical hand preparation with positive results. This clinical trial is focused on optimising the effectiveness of Sorbectol in the surgical hand preparation by scaling the application times of the product from 1 to 5 minutes following the test procedure and the effectiveness criteria of the European norm EN-12791.
