HYCARE Hand sanitizer from Avantor/VWR is an alcohol-based handrub with WHO-recommended formulation (75% Isopropyl alcohol). *WHO recommends alcohol-based handrubs based on the following factors:

1. Evidence-based, intrinsic advantages of fast acting and broad-spectrum microbiocidal activity with a minimal risk of generating resistance to antimicrobial agents.
2. Suitability for use in resource-limited or remote areas with lack of accessibility to sinks or other facilities for hand hygiene (including clean water, towels).
3. Capacity to promote improved compliance with hand hygiene by making the process faster and more convenient;
4. Economic benefit by reducing annual costs for hand hygiene,
5. Minimization of risks from adverse events because of increased safety associated with better acceptability and tolerance than other products.
