Hand health in the operating room is essential for safety Since cracked skin can promote the colonization of microorganisms, skin care and protection are essential to maintain the integrity of hands. The knowledge that hands can play a significant role in the transmission of germs has led HARTMANN to create a product portfolio that specifically focuses on hands in the operating room - consisting of skin-friendly washing lotions and hand disinfectants, protective care lotions and compatible surgical gloves.
