Surgical Hand Antisepsis With Propan-ol-1 60% Per Rubbing and Scrubbing

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The present study evaluates the effects of to compare bactericidal efficacy using the reference antiseptic product propan-ol-1 60% using the hand rub method versus hand scrub method in order to test if pass the standard european norm 12791.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The investigators conducted a crossover clinical trial to evaluate the antiseptic effectiveness of preoperative surgical scrubbing using propan-ol-1 60% by rub and scrub. Samples will be taken from the hands of each volunteer after a surgical hands antiseptic.
