FAQs

What is Avagard and how does it work?

Avagard is an alcohol-based hand sanitiser and surgical scrub, designed to provide effective antimicrobial protection. It works by using a combination of alcohols and other ingredients to quickly kill a wide range of harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is often used in healthcare settings to ensure hygiene before surgeries, medical procedures, or any situation where high levels of sanitisation are required.

The product is designed to be fast-acting, non-irritating, and to leave the skin feeling moisturised without the need for water or towels.

Is Avagard suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Avagard is specially formulated to be gentle on the skin while providing high levels of antimicrobial protection. It contains moisturisers to help prevent skin dryness and irritation, which can be a concern with frequent use of alcohol-based sanitizers. However, as with any product, if you have a known sensitivity or allergy to any of the ingredients, you should perform a patch test before use or consult with a healthcare professional.

How do I use Avagard for hand sanitising?

To use Avagard for hand sanitising, apply a small amount (about 1-2 mL) of the product to the palms of your hands. Rub it into your hands, ensuring that all surfaces are covered, including between your fingers and under your nails. Continue rubbing your hands together until they are dry. The product works without the need for water or towels.

For optimal hygiene, ensure that you use enough product to cover the entire surface of your hands and that the product is allowed to dry completely for maximum efficacy.

Is Avagard effective against COVID-19?

Yes, Avagard is effective against COVID-19. The alcohol content in Avagard (typically a combination of isopropyl alcohol and ethanol) is proven to kill a broad spectrum of viruses, including coronaviruses. When used correctly, it provides a high level of protection against a variety of viral pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

For maximum effectiveness, be sure to follow the recommended application guidelines and ensure complete coverage of your hands.

Can Avagard be used in medical and healthcare settings?

Yes, Avagard is widely used in medical and healthcare settings, particularly in situations requiring surgical hand disinfection and in hospitals, clinics, and other medical environments. It meets the necessary standards for pre-surgical skin disinfection and provides an effective antimicrobial solution to prevent the spread of harmful microorganisms.

In healthcare settings, Avagard is used as a fast, effective alternative to traditional hand washing, providing both convenience and safety for healthcare professionals.
