Hand wash supply issue

[Anonymous]

Hi All

Regarding hand soap in the dental channel we are experiencing supply issues.

Our Australian Dental Association guidelines for infection control reference only TGA ABHR products to be used but I can’t reference anything specific relating to soaps. Obviously clinicians cannot use domestic handwash but QV gentle wash has come up as a potential option.

I believe this a non TGA listed hand wash as it has no specific claims but is apparently on contract to NSW Health and some NSW dental health clinics.

My question is would QV gentle wash (or similar) be a suitable option for use in the dental channel?

Thanks for all your help
Emma

Hi Emma

For routine dentistry it’s completely appropriate to use 2% or 4% chlorhexidine hand wash (if you can source it) as a good alternative to ABHR, but washing effectively with soap and water is also completely appropriate.

There are other Antibacterial TGA approved handwash products also available including Povidone Iodine products (such as Betadine) which may be used with appropriate caution. For surgical procedures the ADA Infection Control Guidelines provide guidance on appropriate hand hygiene.

If you need more details happy to chat.

Hi Emma,

The NHMRC ICG, HHA and ACQSHC HHI all essentially provide the following recommendations pertaining to plain liquid soaps:

* ensure alcohol-based handrub, soaps, and moisturising lotions used are chemically compatible to minimise skin reactions among staff.
* use products that contain skin emollient to minimise skin irritation and drying
* ensure regular use of skin moisturisers.

I checked the ARTG re liquid soaps – here is the link:

https://tga-search.clients.funnelback.com/s/search.html?queryliquid+soap&collectiontga-artg&start_rank1?

QV products are produced by Ego pharmaceuticals, which is on the TGA list.
I have access to QV gentle wash and moisturiser in both the public and private dental practices in which I work.
