Skin damage to the hands of medical staff is a common cause of days lost to illness. According to a Swiss survey, 18% of time taken off for illness by healthcare staff is due to hand skin damage. From this study, it is estimated that dermatitis associated with frequent hand cleansing causes in excess of 2.3 million days lost by staff absence and costs the NHS approximately £300 million.
Available from ATI ATLAS, Skintect Swiss professional formula hand lotion provides an economic, effective protection against this risk. A small bead of lotion applied before a four hour shift will not be removed by repeated exposure to soap, solvents or alcohol. The combination of active ngredients in Skintect is absorbed by the top layer of skin cells to form a protective outer film. The lotion complies with all EU regulations and is supplied with ISO 9001:2008 accreditation.
