[Protection of medical personnel hands with Steriprest preparation]

A new ointment base "Amfilubre" is a chemically bound copolymer of hydrophobic silicone and hydrophylic polyethylene glycol. That provides tight adhesion of the composition to the skin and effective intramolecular incorporation of variable substances. When polyformaldehyde is dispersed in "Amfilubre", the obtained preparation "Steriprest" enables momentary sterilization of skin and instruments due to discharge of the disinfectant from the protective covering layer. The process lasts for several hours, leading to longer protection time.
