Product Overview
B Braun Softa-Man is a ready-to-use, alcohol-based hand disinfection solution engineered for rapid antimicrobial action with minimal skin irritation. The dual-alcohol formulation combines ethanol and propan-1-ol to provide broad-spectrum microbicidal activity against bacteria (including MRSA), mycobacteria, yeasts, and enveloped viruses. The addition of dexpanthenol, bisabolol, and allantoin as skin-conditioning agents ensures dermatological compatibility for frequent use in high-throughput clinical environments.
The 500 ml bottle with integrated hand pump delivers metered doses for consistent application volume, supporting compliance with WHO hand hygiene guidelines. The solution is free from dyes and allergens, making it suitable for healthcare workers with sensitive skin. Softa-Man has been validated against multiple European Norm (EN) test standards, confirming its antimicrobial performance under standardised laboratory and in-use conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Softa-Man and Softa-Man ViscoRub?
A: Softa-Man is a liquid hand disinfection solution, while Softa-Man ViscoRub is a gel-like formulation with higher viscosity for reduced dripping during application. Both share the same active ingredient profile and antimicrobial spectrum. The liquid formulation is generally preferred for surgical hand disinfection, while the gel variant may be more convenient for wall-mounted dispensers in clinical corridors.
Q: Does Softa-Man meet WHO hand hygiene formulation recommendations?
A: Yes. The dual-alcohol formulation exceeds the minimum alcohol concentration recommended by WHO for alcohol-based hand rubs. The product has been tested against EN 1500 (hygienic hand disinfection) and EN 12791 (surgical hand disinfection), both of which are referenced in WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care (2009).
Q: Is Softa-Man suitable for healthcare workers with sensitive or eczema-prone skin?
A: Softa-Man is formulated with dexpanthenol, bisabolol, and allantoin to support skin barrier integrity during frequent use. It is dye-free and allergen-free. However, individuals with known alcohol sensitivity or active dermatitis should consult an occupational health professional before regular use.
Q: How should Softa-Man be used for hygienic hand disinfection?
A: Apply 3 ml of solution to dry hands and rub thoroughly over all surfaces including fingertips, thumb, and interdigital spaces for a minimum of 30 seconds. Hands must remain moist with product throughout the entire application time. Do not rinse or dry hands until the contact time is complete. This protocol aligns with EN 1500 methodology.
Q: Is this product available for purchase in Singapore?
A: Yes. B Braun Softa-Man is distributed in Singapore through authorised medical supply channels. B. Braun has a regional office in Singapore and the product is available for institutional procurement and individual purchase through licensed healthcare retailers.
