Close the Gaps, With Theraworx Protect Advanced Hygiene for Hand & T-Zone Defense

Theraworx Protect Product Group

Clinically shown, non-toxic, Theraworx Protect offers advanced hygiene and skin barrier support where healthcare workers need it most—the hands and T-zone. Take a closer look:

  • In addition to frequent hand cleansing, the CDC recommends frequent facial cleansing to help prevent and control disease.9 Theraworx Protect complies with the CDC’s guidelines as a no-rinse, hand and facial cleansing solution, safe even for the vulnerable mucosal surfaces of the T-zone.
  • Because our solution is safe to use on the ocular mucous membranes, it can be used as an additional ocular contact safety measure before donning PPE, supporting the Johns Hopkins study recommendations on taking extra ocular contact precautions to prevent infection and transmission.7
  • What’s more, Theraworx Protect supports the skin’s natural antimicrobial barrier and defensive functions, helping to prevent skin breakdown and maintain the integrity of the skin, which is especially important for healthcare workers donning PPE.
  • Plus, our solution supports the skin for up to 4-6 hours, meaning fewer re-applications vs. alcohol-based hand sanitizers.

How to Use Theraworx Protect Foam for Hands & T-zone

Follow these protocols when you enter the healthcare facility, and repeat them throughout the day as necessary, in accordance with your policies and procedures.

Hand Protocol

Note: If you’re a healthcare worker, the CDC recommends using hand sanitizer for your hand hygiene protocols, and Theraworx Protect can be used as a persistent adjunct to those protocols.

STEP 1

Apply 1-2 full pumps of foam onto one hand.

STEP 2

Rub hands together until fully absorbed, covering all surfaces of the palms and the backs of both hands. Be sure to get in between the fingers and underneath the fingernails, too.

STEP 3

Do not rinse your hands. Allow to air dry fully before donning gloves. Repeat these steps every 4-6 hours, after washing your hands, or as often as needed. It’s also important to follow this hand protocol before doffing PPE such as face masks, goggles or face shields, and again once the PPE is safely stored or disposed of.

T-Zone Protocol

STEP 1

After you’ve completed the hand protocol, apply 1-2 full pumps of foam onto your palms.

STEP 2

Gently rub into your face until fully absorbed, paying particular attention to the T-zone, which is the area around your eyes, nose, and mouth.*

STEP 3

If you will be donning PPE, apply to any skin where the equipment may create friction and pressure, like behind the ears, on the forehead, and on the tops of the cheeks. Make sure you allow time to fully dry before donning PPE. View our recommended protocol for applying Theraworx Protect under PPE to avoid skin breakdown.

STEP 4

Gently rub just inside each nostril, using a circular motion.

STEP 5

Do not rinse your face. If desired, follow with the hand protocol again. Repeat these steps every 4-6 hours, after washing your face, or as often as needed. For best results, use Theraworx Protect before applying makeup, sunscreen or moisturizers.

*Not intended for oral ingestion. Can be applied around the eyes and on the eyelids, but do not put directly in the eyes, as it may cause eye irritation. If eye contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
