Unpublished study - data at BODE Chemie GmbH Dermatological expertise ensures compatibility during application In addition to its cleaning performance, HARTMANN also had its skin compatibility tested by the leading testing and certification company SGS Institut Fresenius. For this purpose, 30 test subjects, half of whom described their skin as sensitive, were given skin patches made of 2 x 2 cm pieces of Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues on their backs for 24 hours in a randomised, blinded study [2]. The study was controlled with distilled water as a negative control and the skin irritant sodium dodecyl sulphate (0.5 % by weight) as a positive control. The skin of the test subjects was examined for erythema and oedema before and 15 minutes, 24 hours and 48 hours after application. The result: Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues showed very good skin compatibility and were non-irritating under occlusive conditions [2]. They howed the same low irritation potential as distilled water [2] and were therefore awarded the SGS seal “dermatologically tested”. ” ” Denis Olah, Area Sales Manager of Leber Hygiene-Service GmbH, Gutach Allergy and asthma friendly: ECARF seal confirms skin and mucous membrane compatibility In addition, skin and mucous membrane tolerance of Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues and Foam were investigated by the ECARF Institute under medical supervision. 21 volunteers with atopic dermatitis took part in the 7-day skin tolerance study [3], and 22 subjects with asthma bronchiale took part in the 15-20 minute exposure test for mucous membrane tolerance [4]. The use of Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues and Foam did not result in any worsening of the skin conditions. Test subjects rated the products as “very good” with regard to “tolerance“ and “itching“ [3]. The mucous membrane tolerance was also successfully proven: Overall, only minor reactions without clinical relevance occurred in the eyes, nose and bronchial tubes [4]. The ECARF seal thus proves that Bacillol® 30 Sensitive is allergy- and alsthma-friendly and that no worsening of the skin condition or development of new allergies are to be expected when used properly. Evaluation of mucosal tolerance in subjects with asthma bronchiale: comparison of the occurence of lacrimation and coughing before and after exposure to Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Foam. The wipes convince us. The simple and safe handling, even without gloves, combined with short exposure times in the relevant spectrum of action, are a real plus in our daily work. ” ” Doreen Teetzen, Nursing Service Manager, Paracelsus Harzklinik, Bad Suderode With the upgrade to the Bacillol® 30 Sensitive series, our customers receive a product that has been optimised in all areas: highest material compatibility, improved residue behaviour and skin compatibility thanks to dermatological expertise. In short: a successful product improvement! Conclusion: Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues and Foam are not only characterised by a particularly good cleaning performance, but are also suitable for allergy sufferers and asthmatics thanks to their skin and mucous membrane compatibility.
