Surgical hand scrub:
Wet hands with water.
Spread about 5 mL (1 teaspoonful) of scrub over both hands and forearms.
Without adding more water, scrub thoroughly for 2½ –3 minutes.
Use a sponge, if desired. Clean thoroughly under fingernails.
Add a little water and develop copious suds. Rinse thoroughly under running water.
Repeat entire procedure using another 5 mL of scrub.
Antiseptic hand wash:
Wet hands with water and pour about 5 mL of scrub on hands.
Rub hands vigorously together for at least 15 seconds, covering all surfaces.
Rinse and dry with a disposable towel.
Preoperative skin preparation:
After the surgical area is clipped, wet it with water.
Apply scrub (1 mL is sufficient to cover an area of 20–30 square inches), develop lather, and scrub thoroughly for about 5 minutes.
Rinse using sterile gauze saturated with water.
The area may then be painted with PRO-TEC GOLD Surgical Scrub and allowed to dry.
