Gaps in coverage | HARTMANN SCIENCE CENTER

Term for certain areas on the hand that are not covered during hand disinfection, and thus may pose a risk of transmission.

In the meantime, it has been proven scientifically that the responsible application of hand disinfectants involves fewer gaps in coverage than the standard method following EN 1500. To monitor possible gaps in coverage under UV light it is appropriate to use a fluorescent test lotion, e.g. Visirub^®.
