Abstract:
The development of technology is very rapid at present, especially in the field of medical engineering. This Hand hygiene is of utmost importance as it may be contaminated easily from direct contact with airborne microorganism droplets from coughs and sneezes. Particularly in situations like pandemic outbreak, it is crucial to interrupt the transmission chain of the virus by the practice of proper air sanitization. It can be achieved with contact isolation and strict infection control tool like maintaining good air hygiene in hospital settings and in public After that, the success of the spray sanitization solely depends on the use of effective surface disinfecting agents formulated in various types and forms such as antimicrobial soaps, water-based or alcohol-based hand sanitizer, with the latter being widely used in hospital settings. To date, most of the effective surface sanitizer products are alcohol-based formulations containing 62%–95% of alcohol as it can denature the proteins of microbes and the ability to inactivate viruses. This systematic review correlated with the data available in PubMed, and it will investigate the range of available surface sanitizers and their effectiveness as well as the formulation aspects, adverse effects, and recommendations to enhance the formulation efficiency and safety. Further, this article highlights the efficacy of alcohol-based surface sanitizer against the coronavirus
