3M Health Care is now Solventum, delivering the same trusted products under a new name.
Product Overview
3M Avagard D Instant Hand Antiseptic with Moisturizers offers optimal hand hygiene to stop the spread of harmful bacteria in healthcare settings or for daily use in between handwashing. The first line of defense to stop the spread of disease and sickness is by regularly washing and sanitizing the hands. The hands come in contact with multiple surfaces, including the face to cough or rub the eyes making it easy to transfer germs.
The means to hand wash with soap and water isn't always available and Avagard D Hand Sanitizer makes sure that germs are destroyed. Its formula contains 61 percent ethyl alcohol to effectively kill 99.999 percent of microorganisms without drying the skin. The drying effects of alcohol can leave skin dehydrated and even damage the skin. The emollient-rich hand sanitizer feels like lotion due to its moisture-rich formula that will maintain the integrity of the skin with repeated use so that bacteria are destroyed and not your skin.
