ORANGEBURG, N.Y. -- Professional Disposables
International (PDI) introduces advanced formula Sani-Dex ALC Antimicrobial
Alcohol Hand Wipes, an extension of the PDI Sani-System brand of hand
hygiene and environmental hard surface disinfecting products.
This new alcohol-based hand wash contains 65.9 percent ethyl alcohol by volume and
is formulated for the prevention of cross contamination. The wipes are
formulated to comply with the new "CDC Guideline for Hand Hygiene in
Health-Care Settings" issued on Oct. 25, 2002. Not only do these wipes promote
good hygiene practice because they are easy-to-use and are preferred by
healthcare workers, they also remove soil from the hands, an important
feature in the prevention of cross contamination that gels alone cannot
accomplish. Its emollient rich formula helps retain moisture on skin and
leaves no gummy residue or buildup. Each application provides an exacting
amount of hand wash solution for effective germ control.
Sani-Dex ALC's clog-free dispensers are easy to install, require no
maintenance, and are available in quick-pull canisters with an optional wall
bracket, as well as individual pocket packets, which provide accessibility
and convenience for maintaining proper hand hygiene in any setting.
Sani-Dex ALC is used by hospitals, alternate care sites, nursing homes, home
care and dental and physician offices, blood banks and laboratories, EMS,
fire rescue and police to decrease bacteria on the skin after assisting ill
persons and before contact with a person under medical care or treatment.
PDI, Professional Disposables International, the healthcare division of
Nice-Pak Products, Inc., is the leading manufacturer of quality,
pre-moistened disposables for the health care industry. An ISO 9001
certified company, PDI's manufacturing plants are FDA registered and
monitored for the highest quality assurance.
