Aug. 14, 2002 Rubbing the hands with an aqueous alcohol product was as good as the standard scrubbing protocol with respect to rates of surgical site infections, according to the results of a randomized equivalence trial reported in the August 14 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
