title: A new concept of plaster for preventing hand-borne infections.
abstract: A new plaster has been developed to improve asepsis in current medical and nursing care. Technical improvements were achieved via a no touch' technique. The experimental protocol used to evaluate this new plaster allows us to claim its evident superiority because of the no touch' principle and rapid application. Such a plaster appears to be very helpful in diminishing the incidence of hand-borne infections during medical and nursing care.
