The comfort and condition of your staff's hands should be a real concern. They're the ones applying scrubs and rubs, washing with soap and water and donning gloves, over and over and over again during a full day of surgery. Dry, cracked skin — never mind the constant reminders (or is it harping?) from someone like myself about the importance of hand hygiene — can make protecting and disinfecting hands feel like a punishment. You want staff and surgeons to clean and protect their hands because it's the right thing to do. Providing them with gloves and hand hygiene products that make their hands feel good will help that cause.
