Dear all
We recently tried an alchol foaming rub which appeared to be a nice product which was well tolerated and liked by staff. However the company tell me that the foaming rub is just 60% propyl alohol base whereas its 80% in the non-foaming rub that we currently use. Is there guidance/regulations as to the acceptable percentage for alcohol in hand decontamination products?
Thanks

An article by Boyce & Pettit (2002) recommends alcohol percentages between 60 and 95% as having the best efficacy (in MMWR 51:16 p1-45). Not sure if any research since then has come up with any advances on that!
