In accordance with the specifications of the Robert Koch Institute, DesiCoach® combines the three most important learning objectives of effective hand disinfection in one product for the first time.

1. Dosage

The right amount for your individual hand size 

➞ Depending on the size of the hand, about 3 to 5 milliliters are needed to wash both hands complete and sufficient to wet.

2. Rubbing technique

The most effective techniques for complete wetting 

➞ With a series of skilled and individually practiced hand movements, all skin areas completely wetted become.

3. Order

Your routine for fixing vulnerabilities 

➞ The order is crucial to find the positions to wet firstwhere the liquid is difficult to distribute.

Here's how:

With these steps
you achieve the learning objectives.

1. Dosage

Step 1 – 2

Measure the dye into the palm of your hand and rub it all over your hands.

After rubbing in, the Color intensity, whether you have sufficient Dosage amount You used it for your hand size.

Tip: Counting pump strokes is generally inaccurate due to the variable dosage of dispensers. It's better to develop a feel for the right amount in your own palm. Only with a sufficient quantity can the contact time specified by the manufacturer (usually 30 seconds) be fully observed. If too little disinfectant is applied, the area covered will be significantly reduced! ^[1]

2. Rubbing technique

Step 1 – 2

When rubbed in, the dye initially remains invisible – just like normal disinfectant.

Only after about 1 minute will possible Disinfection gaps visible. This helps you to independent rubbing technique to develop.

Step 3 – 4

When using the decolorizer, the wetting immediately visible.

This wow effect helps you to specifically improve your techniques directly during application.

Tip: The disinfectant should be rubbed onto both hands so that the entire surface of the hands remains wet for the duration of the contact time. With a series of skillful hand movements, all skin areas can be wetted before the disinfectant evaporates.

3. Order

Step 3 – 4

After rubbing in, the decolorizer makes it visible where too little liquid has reached.

Based on paint residues, you can analyze whether you have Sequence of steps You should adjust it to disinfect areas of skin that are difficult to disinfect. punctual to wet.

Tip: Scientific studies show that the method of "individual routine“ achieves better results than strictly imitating a "prescribed procedure“.^[2] This learning objective therefore focuses on developing an independent and individual routine that ensures that critical skin areas are disinfected particularly well (fingertips first!).

The learning objectives show what really matters when it comes to hand disinfection. When used correctly, DesiCoach® helps you to achieve these goals visibly, easily and sustainably.
