Hand sanitizers, including Prefer- ence Liquid Hand Sanitizer, are an effective method in reducing and eliminatingthespreadofgermswhen hands are not dirty. This includes times in between patients as well as in between glove changes. It is rec- ommended you wash with soap and water when hands are visibly dirty, upon entering the office and before and after lunch. Preference Liquid Hand Sanitizer consists of 72 percent ethyl alcohol. For alcohol-based sanitizers, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rec- ommends a concentration of 60 per- cent to 95 percent ethanol or isopro- panolforgreatestgermicidalefficacy. Any sanitizers with less than 60 per- cent alcohol are not considered effec- tive against most common germs. Before Preference was launched, 78 dental professionals participated in a blind study to compare the new hand sanitizer against a leading liq- uid hand sanitizer on the market. Sixty evaluators, or 77 percent, voted Preference as their first choice in the blind study, according to Whip Mix. After launch, Preference was tested by a panel of 26 dental team members through Contemporary Product Solutions. The quickness of drying was rated as the favorite feature, with 62 percent of team mem- bers’ support. Users simply apply Preference Liquid Hand Sanitizer to their hands and rub it around until it dries in less than 10 seconds. Another feature evaluators liked was Preference’s ability to moisturize their hands without leaving sticky residue. One evaluator stated: “Pref- erence can be used at every chair in a high-volume and fast-paced office.” All in all, 69 percent of evaluators commented that there wasn’t any- thing they didn’t like about the prod- uct, and 100 percent of evaluators were either extremely likely or very likely to recommend this product to a team member or other professional. On a 5-point diamond scale, Prefer- ence was rated a 4.6. One hygienist summarized her thoughts with: “I absolutely love eve- rything about this product! Prefer- ence dries very quickly and makes putting gloves back on a breeze.” Preference was also recently reviewed by a panel of 12 evalua- tors through Dental Product Shop- per. One evaluator mentioned, “I am very pleased to see this product does not clog as the traditional gel hand sanitizer does,” while another says he liked the, “interesting dispensing nozzle that makes product dispersal on hands much easier.” Of these evaluators, 100 percent said ease of dispensing was a very important or important factor to con- sider when purchasing a hand sani- tizer. One evaluator said: “I love how quickly this product dries and how smoothmyhandsfeel.It’sveryeasyto put gloves on after using Preference sanitizer.” All in all, 10 of the 12 evaluators said Preference was much better or somewhat better than competing products, and nine would definitely or probably purchase the liquid sani- tizer in the future.
