    Surgical handwashing is important for preventing infections and involves using a disposable scrub brush and nail cleaner to remove debris from under fingernails under running water. A suitable antimicrobial soap is then used to scrub each side and surface of the fingers and hands while keeping hands higher than arms to prevent contamination. Hands and arms are then rinsed by passing them through water once from fingertips to elbow without moving back and forth.

    Surgical Handwashing has an important role in preventing and reducing the transfer of health-related
    infections. This will be performed by using disposable scrub brush, remove debris from underneath fingernails
    using a nail cleaner, preferably under running water. Surgical hand antisepsis should be performed using a
    suitable antimicrobial soap. Scrub each side of each finger, between the fingers, and the back and front of the
    hand always keeping the hand higher than the arm. This prevents bacteria-laden soap and water from
    contaminating the hand. Rinse hands and arms by passing them through the water in one direction only, from
    fingertips to elbow. Do not move your arm back and forth through the water.
