A new Superhero has just emerged in the battle to beat the bugs – Des, the knight in shining armour and the champion of hand hygiene has just been unveiled by schulke. Des is the standard bearer for desderman – schulke’s rapid acting hand disinfection gel, which is ranked number one by NHS Supply Chain.
Like desderman, Des is strong, but gentle. Both can be trusted to get to work quickly and effectively in the battle to prevent infection.
Underneath his suit of armour there is a real life “Des” and his true identity will be revealed in January 2012. Clues will be given on the schülke website and from your local schülke rep to help you guess who is hiding under Des’s helmet. If you correctly guess who “Des” is from the clues given over the next few months, real life “Des” could be paying you a Valentine’s visit with chocolates and flowers.

desderman® Pure hand hygiene gel, is ranked number one following a 2009 NHS Supply Chain tender in which desderman was scored alongside other leading brands in terms of efficacy, product evaluation, customer reviews and price. Formulated for hand disinfection in 30 seconds and surgical hand disinfection in 90 seconds desderman is an advanced rapid acting alcohol based hand rub.
desderman is effective against the bacteria (Tb, MRSA, VRE), fungi and viruses (Inc. HBV, HCV, HIV, Polio, Herpes Simplex, Adeno, Rota and Vaccinia virus) within 90 seconds of use. Colour and perfume free, desderman pure is gentle on the skin and is suitable for frequent use.
A recent study at an NHS laboratory concluded that “desderman pure provides an effective solution for minimising the risks associated with the transfer of contamination.” The study showed that desderman pure “eliminated hundreds of thousands of bacteria on both gloved and ungloved hands (using both Staphylococcus aureus and Escheria coli).” Those taking part in the study noted that desderman pure was “soft on the hands”, “easy to use”, and “had a pleasant odour… much better than others we’ve tried”.
