- the present invention relates to an alcohol-based antiseptic surgical scrub, which leaves an anti-microbial invisible film or “glove” on the hands, following alcohol evaporation.
- Diligent hand washing and the wearing of gloves by healthcare professionals are essential components of effective infection control in the healthcare environment.
- Healthcare professionals regularly wash their hands and wear gloves to control the spread of bacteria and infection from patient to patient, and to themselves.
- Hand washing procedures are performed in several ways and include products such as an ordinary anti-microbial bar soap, skin disinfecting or pre-operative agents or rubbing alcohol. Such procedures and products contain anti-microbial agents such as alcohol, iodine, chlorhexidine digluconate, chloroxylenol, triclosan and hexachlorophenes. Gloving by the healthcare workers is a normal practice in the hospital setting to create a barrier that protects themselves and the patient from transmitted bacteria.
- Alcohols in general, are recognized for their disinfection properties. Rubbing alcohol, containing 70% ethyl alcohol (Formula 23-H) and 30% water, and isopropyl rubbing alcohol, containing 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water, are commonly used disinfectants. Alcohol is a potent anti-microbial agent, and, if used with surgical scrub, will cause significant mean log reduction of bacterial counts on the hands of healthcare workers. However, the use of alcohols for surgical scrubs has never become popular in the United States of America, even though the compound has very good properties for immediate reduction of microbial flora on the hands. This may be due to the fact that alcohol is a defatting agent. When applied to the human skin, it can make the skin very dry, often leading to chapped and cracked skin. These characteristics thus often result in difficult and painful sensitivity for the users.

Description
- This application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/550,184, filed Jul. 24, 2006, which is a national phase of PCT/US04/009009, filed Mar. 24, 2004, which claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/457,054, filed Mar. 24, 2003.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an alcohol-based antiseptic surgical scrub, which leaves an anti-microbial invisible film or “glove” on the hands, following alcohol evaporation.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Diligent hand washing and the wearing of gloves by healthcare professionals are essential components of effective infection control in the healthcare environment. Healthcare professionals regularly wash their hands and wear gloves to control the spread of bacteria and infection from patient to patient, and to themselves.
- Hand washing procedures are performed in several ways and include products such as an ordinary anti-microbial bar soap, skin disinfecting or pre-operative agents or rubbing alcohol. Such procedures and products contain anti-microbial agents such as alcohol, iodine, chlorhexidine digluconate, chloroxylenol, triclosan and hexachlorophenes. Gloving by the healthcare workers is a normal practice in the hospital setting to create a barrier that protects themselves and the patient from transmitted bacteria.
- Healthcare workers commonly use scrub brushes impregnated with anti-microbial agents for antiseptic hand washing prior to surgical procedures and other invasive patient care procedures. These impregnated scrub brushes have proven to be an effective method of reducing the spread of infection in the healthcare setting. Anti-microbial solutions are specially designed for use in the scrub brush where the mechanical action of scrubbing with the brush creates a foam or lather. Before performing a surgical procedure, the surgical team uses surgical scrubs to disinfect their hands with such a standardized scrub procedure, usually lasting 5 to 10 minutes, then don sterile gloves before initializing the surgical procedure.
- Alcohols, in general, are recognized for their disinfection properties. Rubbing alcohol, containing 70% ethyl alcohol (Formula 23-H) and 30% water, and isopropyl rubbing alcohol, containing 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water, are commonly used disinfectants. Alcohol is a potent anti-microbial agent, and, if used with surgical scrub, will cause significant mean log reduction of bacterial counts on the hands of healthcare workers. However, the use of alcohols for surgical scrubs has never become popular in the United States of America, even though the compound has very good properties for immediate reduction of microbial flora on the hands. This may be due to the fact that alcohol is a defatting agent. When applied to the human skin, it can make the skin very dry, often leading to chapped and cracked skin. These characteristics thus often result in difficult and painful sensitivity for the users.
- The prior art includes many examples of varying antiseptic skin cleaners and wipes, some of which include alcohol. U.S. Pat. No. 4,678,606 discloses a personal liquid cleaning composition having a primary surfactant selected from the group of anionic, cationic, zwitterionic, amphoteric and semipolar surfactants, an auxiliary surfactant selected from certain ethoxylated aliphatic alcohols and a water-soluble polymeric thickening agent. U.S. Pat. No. 4,374,126 discloses an alcohol insoluble antimicrobial topical lotion including a lower acrylate interpolymer. U.S. Pat. No. 5,512,199 discloses an antimicrobial hand wipe which includes an alcohol. U.S. Pat. No. 6,180,584 is directed to a film forming antimicrobial composition. Notably, this composition is an alcohol-free anti-microbial skin sanitizing composition.
- However, none of these prior art products provide the benefits of the presently disclosed surgical scrub composition, which not only includes alcohol, but also provides the desired invisible, anti-microbial long-lasting film on the hands following solvent evaporation.
- The present invention is an alcohol based hand surgical scrub, which includes dual anti-microbial agent preservatives, cationic polymer film-forming agents and provides a long term residual, anti-microbial “invisible glove” on the skin. The composition desirably comprises an alcohol, anti-microbial agent which prevents the growth of bacteria and a polymer system to form a barrier on the skin. The polymer system creates an invisible film on the skin following solvent evaporation. This invisible film provides a lasting anti-microbial barrier on the skin.
- The composition desirably includes an alcohol, a positive charged anti-microbial agent, skin emollients and lubricants and a film-forming polymer system. The composition may also include one or both of methyl and propyl parabens and silicone. The anti-microbial agents prevent bacteria from growing back to the baseline of the normal skin flora population. The surgical scrub composition contains chemical ingredients to remove extraneous matter and organisms from the hands. Skin emollients and lubricants are also provided to prevent the defatting effect of the alcohol, thereby eliminating the dry, chapped feeling on the skin. Additional or complimentary anti-microbial agents are preferably included to serve as preservative and persistent active agents. These anti-microbial agents in the composition will improve the anti-microbial characteristics of the formulation and provide a long-term residual activity for the skin. As previously noted, the polymer system is included to create an invisible film after the solvent is evaporated. This invisible film acts as a physical anti-microbial barrier or “glove” to protect the healthcare worker's hands. This film has an anti-microbial effect at least for six hours to prevent and kill the bacteria on the healthcare worker's hands.

FIG. 1 is a graphical presentation of the log10 reductions from baseline for the preferred formula and BD E-Z Scrub™ [BD Catalog #371073] plus the most preferred embodiment. - This invention may be satisfied by embodiments in many different forms, and is not limited to any specific or preferred embodiments of the invention, which are merely exemplary of the principles of the invention. Various other modifications will be apparent to and readily made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. The scope of the invention will be measured by the appended claims and their equivalents.
- The surgical scrub composition of the present invention includes alcohol, a positive-charged anti-microbial agent, skin emollients and lubricants, and a cationic polymer film-forming thickening agent.
- One or more alcohols are utilized in the surgical scrub composition due to alcohol's well known germicidal properties. Alcohols which may be used in the present composition include isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, and n-propanol. In the most preferred embodiment, ethyl alcohol is used. Preferably, alcohol is present in the surgical scrub composition in an amount from about 60 to about 95 weight percent, and most preferably, at about 71 weight percent.
- Emollients are utilized in the surgical scrub composition of the present invention to lessen the drying effect of the alcohol on the skin. A preferred emollient is isopropyl palmitate, which is an ester emollient available from Amerchol Corporation of Edison, N.J. When used on the skin, isopropyl palmitate leaves a soft, non-sticky feel to the skin. Isopropyl palmitate is a lipophillic emollient, an oily, fatty substance which is water insoluble. Lanolin and its derivatives are a large group of fatty materials with active emollient properties that can be utilized as emulsifiers or lubricants in the composition.
- The preferred embodiment includes glycerin as a hydrophilic emollient and a humectant to maintain the water in equilibrium. Glycerin is available from Spectrum Quality products. Glycerin is a water and alcohol soluble emollient that provides skin conditioning properties to the composition. In another embodiment, propylene glycol may be substituted for glycerin. Preferably, glycerin is present in the surgical scrub composition, by weight percent of the entire composition, in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 5%, and most preferably, about 1.4%.
- The surgical scrub composition further includes a silicone fluid. Preferably, the silicone fluid is dimethicone copolyol, cyclomethicone and dimethicone. Most preferably, dimethicone is utilized. Dimethicone 350 is commercially available from General Electric Corporation. Silicone fluids provide good lubricating, aesthetic and occlusive action on the skin. Silicone fluids not only lubricate the skin surface, they also act as a gas barrier to reduce water vapor transmission. Silicone fluids are water and gas insoluble. Preferably, the silicone fluid is present in the surgical scrub composition, by weight percent of the entire composition, in an amount from 0 to about 5%, and most preferably, about 0.03%.
- Most hydrocarbons are derived from petrolatum crude by a fractional distillation process. Such hydrocarbons function as emollients due to their ability to lubricate and hold water at the skin surface due to their relative occlusivity. Mineral oil and isopropyl palmitate are included in the most preferred embodiment. Despite its lack of aesthetic properties, petrolatum may be utilized. Alternatively or additionally, lanolin derivatives may be included. Preferably, mineral oil is present in the surgical scrub composition, by weight percent of the entire composition, in an amount from 0 to about 5%, and most preferably, about 0.2%. Preferably, isopropyl palmitate is present in the surgical scrub composition, by weight percent of the entire composition, in an amount from about 0.1% to about 5%, and most preferably about 0.4%.
- Preferably, the surgical scrub composition includes about 0.1% to about 5% of an emollient or emollients.
- An anti-microbial agent is included in the surgical scrub composition to kill microorganisms and prevent or inhibit their growth and reproduction. In the absence of an antimicrobial agent, microbial flora will grow on the skin following alcohol evaporation. The antimicrobial agents present in the surgical scrub composition are selected to be compatible with the chemical and physical properties of the skin. In addition, the antimicrobial agent should be non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
- As previously noted, the alcohol component of the surgical scrub composition is an excellent antimicrobial agent. It also acts as a preservative. However, following application of the surgical scrub composition, the alcohol will evaporate from the skin over time. In the most preferred embodiment, the residue remaining on the skin following alcohol evaporation will include an amount of an antimicrobial agent which also acts as a preservative. Suitable antimicrobial agents which act as preservatives may be selected from the class of phenols including para-chloro-meta-xylenol, bis-biguanides such as chlorhexidine digluconate, chlorhexidine diacetate or quaterium class such as benzethonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride. Chloroxylenol, triclosan, hexachlorophenes, octenidine and quarternary compounds may be included. Hexetidine, germaben II, kathon CG, triclosan are other antimicrobial agents may also be suitable as preservatives. Benzethonium chloride and benalkonium chloride (as hyamine 3500) are available from Lonza Inc., chlorhexidine digluconate is available from Xttrium Laboratories, gennaben II is available from Sutton Laboratories. In a most preferred embodiment, benzethonium chloride, chlorhexidine digluconate (20%) and benzelkonium chloride (80%) are present. Preferably, benzethonium chloride is present in the scrub composition, by weight percent of the entire composition, in an amount from about 0.05% to about 5%, and most preferably, about 0.09%. Preferably, chlorhexidine digluconate (20%) is present in the surgical scrub composition, by weight percent of the entire composition, in an amount from about 0.05% to about 5%, and most preferably about 0.45%.

Preferably, the composition includes about 0% to about 5% of an anti-microbial agent.
- Methylparaben and propylparaben (both available from Mallinckrodt Chemical Company) are desirably included in the surgical scrub composition as preservatives. These are further desired for their moisturizing and film forming characteristics. Preferably, methylparaben is contained in the surgical scrub composition, by weight percent of the entire composition, in an amount from about 0 to about 5%, and most preferably about 0.03%. Preferably, propylparaben is present in the surgical scrub, by weight percent of the entire composition, in an amount from about 0 to about 5%, and most preferably, about 0.03%. One or both of these compositions are preferably included in the amount of about 0% to about 5% of the surgical scrub composition.
- To create the desired residual film of the surgical scrub composition, cationic polymer thickening agents are employed. Thickening agents must be soluble in the alcohol and compatible with cationic ingredients. The cationic polymer thickening agents are preferably present in the surgical scrub composition, by weight percent of the entire composition, in the amount of about 0.1% to about 5%.
- Incroquat behenyl TMS is most preferably used as a cationic polymer. It is a strong conditioning agent and an outstanding cationic emulsifier. This composition bonds to the skin due to the skin's negative charge. Incroquat behenyl TMS is a compound of 25% active solution of behenyl trimonium methosulfate in cetearyl alcohol and is available in flaked/pastel form and supplied by Croda Inc. Incroquat CR concentrate is preferably used as an additional cationic polymer. Incroquat CR concentrate is available from Croda me. and is comprised of cetearyl alcohol, castor oil and stearalkonium chloride. This composition is a one-part formulating aid. It is a conditioner and self-emulsifier. The desired combination of the incroquat behenyl TMS and incroquat CR concentrate provides a smooth feel to the skin and neutralizes the static charge of the human skin. Preferably, incroquat BTMS is present in the surgical scrub composition, by weight percent of the entire composition, in an amount from about 0.1% to about 5%, and most preferably about 0.4%. Preferably, incroquat CR is present in the surgical scrub composition, by weight percent of the entire composition, in an amount from 0 to about 5%, and most preferably about 0.1%.
