In this time of crisis whilst we’re going through a global pandemic, Mednorth has got you covered with our hand sanitisers available in 100ml and 500ml bottles. Whilst handwashing is the best option to remove germs, hand sanitisers are ultimately better than nothing, especially when you’re on the go and don’t have access to soap and water. Every time you leave your home- whether it’s for your one form of exercise a day, or to pick up essential items such as food or medicine- you should carry a bottle of hand sanitiser around with you. Leave it in the car, carry it in your bag, have a bottle at your desk, and have one by your front door.

Hand sanitisers are an effective on-the-go solution to kill bacteria and viruses. They kill microbial cells due to the high concentration of isopropanol alcohol (more commonly known as rubbing alcohol). Hand sanitisers are effective against viruses because they disrupt the viruses’ outer coat, killing them. They are also an effective solution to kill bacteria as they kill the cell membrane, so they cannot survive and replicate.

Coronaviruses such as Covid-19 have been found to persist for days on surfaces. That means that even if you don’t come into direct contact with someone who is infected, you could still contract the virus. Therefore, if you’re touching surfaces in the supermarket, door handles or in an office, there is still a chance you’ll pick up microbes. The best solution is to have a bottle of Mednorth sanitiser with you at all times to mitigate the risk of becoming infected or spreading the virus.
