Braun is an alcohol-based gel hand disinfectant containing 45 g ethanol and 18 g propan-1-ol per 100 ml, formulated for hygienic and surgical hand antisepsis in clinical settings. The gel incorporates dexpanthenol, bisabolol, and allantoin for skin conditioning, enabling frequent use without dermatitis. Validated to EN 1500 (hygienic hand disinfection, 30 seconds) and EN 12791 (surgical hand disinfection, 60 seconds) with demonstrated efficacy against MRSA, mycobacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB. Braun Softa Gel (Softa-Man ViscoRub) is a professional-grade alcohol-based gel hand disinfectant designed for healthcare environments requiring rapid, broad-spectrum hand antisepsis. The formulation combines two synergistic alcohols — 45 g ethanol (100%) and 18 g propan-1-ol per 100 ml — in a viscous gel matrix that provides controlled application without dripping or splashing. The gel consistency ensures even coverage across all hand surfaces including interdigital spaces, nail folds, and wrist areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike standard alcohol hand sanitisers, Softa Gel incorporates a triple skin-conditioning system of dexpanthenol (provitamin B5), bisabolol (chamomile-derived anti-inflammatory), and allantoin (keratolytic moisturiser) to maintain skin barrier integrity during frequent clinical use. This formulation is specifically designed to address the occupational dermatitis risk associated with high-frequency hand disinfection protocols in healthcare workers. The 500 ml pump bottle format is engineered for wall-mounting or benchtop placement at point-of-care stations, scrub sinks, and ward entry points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB.

The dual-alcohol formulation (ethanol + propan-1-ol) provides broader antimicrobial coverage than single-alcohol products, and the integrated skin care system (dexpanthenol, bisabolol, allantoin) specifically addresses occupational dermatitis prevention in healthcare workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Softa Gel effective against MRSA and antibiotic-resistant organisms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes. Softa Gel has demonstrated validated efficacy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), mycobacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses in standardised testing per EN 13727 and EN 13624. The dual-alcohol formulation provides rapid bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal activity within the specified contact times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the correct application technique for hygienic hand disinfection?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Dispense approximately 3 ml of Softa Gel into dry hands. Rub thoroughly over all hand surfaces — palms, backs of hands, interdigital spaces, fingertips, thumbs, and wrists — for a minimum of 30 seconds until the hands are dry. Do not rinse or wipe. Follow the WHO 6-step hand hygiene technique for complete coverage. For surgical hand disinfection, extend the rubbing time to 60 seconds (or 1.5 minutes per EN 12791 protocol).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can Softa Gel cause skin irritation with frequent use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Softa Gel is specifically formulated to minimise skin irritation during high-frequency clinical use. The dexpanthenol (provitamin B5), bisabolol, and allantoin skin care complex maintains skin barrier function and hydration. Clinical experience indicates superior skin tolerability compared to chlorhexidine-based scrubs and soap-and-water protocols for routine hand hygiene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Softa Gel available for healthcare facilities in Singapore?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes.
