What if hygiene is demanded at the highest level?
In this article we touch on products that offer a solution for the medical sector. These solutions also apply to the food processing industry.
A good base
First of all, it is very important that the hygiene protocols in hospitals and other care institutions are properly observed. Research shows that hundreds of patients die each year because, too often these protocols are deviated from. All Care helps you to improve compliance with the hygiene protocols.
We do this by offering products that focus on ease of use and operation without manual contact. By using these low-threshold products, you can take the necessary steps to maximize the hygiene level in your hospital.
Hand cleaning:
Wash hands with soap and water:
- when they feel sticky
- if they are visibly dirty
- after visiting the toilet
- after nose blowing and coughing.
Hand disinfection
Apply hand disinfection to non-visibly contaminated hands. Hand disinfection is preferable to hand cleansing because it is more skin-friendly and hand alcohol gives a greater germ reduction. Disinfection with hand alcohol also has the advantage that it can be used at the place of care and is not dependent on the presence of a washbasin. This also saves time.
- Hand alcohol has no cleaning effect and is therefore only effective on hands that are not visibly contaminated.
- Do not use hand disinfection after washing hands with soap and water. Double hand hygiene is a big burden for the hands.
Preferably, soap and disinfection should be provided by a dispenser.

Which dispensers are suitable for hand cleaning?
It is important there is no manual contact with the dispenser. Therefore, dispensers must be equipped with an elbow operation. In the MediQo line from All Care, you will find various elbow dispensers for soap and disinfectant.
Another option is the use of a touch-free dispenser. In this way there is no contact with the dispenser at all. Moreover, the ease of use is great. This dispenser is also equipped with an elbow operation in case the automatic sensor does not work. This Ingoman dispenser is available on request from All Care.
Dispensers with a refillable reservoir, through which the contents can be contaminated, must not be used. Therefore use dispensers with disposable bottles or packaging.
Drying the hands
After the hands are washed with soap and water, it is essential to dry the hands thoroughly. This should be done with disposable paper towels. When drying, the wrists and skin between the fingers should not be forgotten. View the towel dispensers that All Care has in their range.
How do you prevent contamination of the hands through the waste bin?
After drying, the hands are clean. Now it is essential that the waste bin is not touched with hands when disposing of the towels. All Care offers waste bins with knee and foot controls. These products prevent contamination and the transfer of bacteria. View more!
