Skin protection, skin cleansing and skin care: For skin regeneration and infection prevention

In the field of podiatry and foot care, it all comes down to the three Hs: Skin protection, skin cleansing and skin care. By applying care and protective products, you not only promote skin regeneration, but also strengthen the skin's natural barrier function against pathogens. Thanks to their skin-friendly disinfecting effect, they also prevent infections caused by pathogens and germs. In addition to our RUCK own brand for skin hygiene, we offer products from brand manufacturers such as Schülke, Bode, ECOLAB and Saraya.

Why skin care and protection are so important

The importance of skin care lies in the protective function of our skin. With its natural, thin lipid and acid mantle, it prevents the penetration of pathogens, protects against dehydration and keeps out external weather influences. It also regulates our body temperature and produces important vitamins. If we are exposed to stress or illness, this also weakens the natural protective coat.

The daily routine of the practice with regular cleaning and disinfection of the hands inevitably leads to skin stress. High-quality care and cleaning products therefore play a decisive role in overall hygiene.

What care, protection and cleansing products are available for the skin?

Our RUCK skin care products combine two important functions: Regeneration of stressed skin and prophylaxis of infections. On the one hand, they fulfil disinfecting functions and on the other hand, they have caring, moisturising and regenerative properties.

Depending on the area of application and requirements, a distinction can be made between the following types of care, protection and cleansing products:

• Spray: Due to the combination of disinfection, reliable immediate effect and skin-compatible refatting effect, sprays for hand disinfection are particularly suitable for sensitive and irritated skin.

• Soaps/foaming soaps: They are used for skin-care cleansing and containment of microbial contaminants and pathogens.

• Creams: In the case of severely stressed skin, creams support regeneration by forming a greasy mantle on the skin. Especially washable hydrophilic creams promote regeneration and prevent dehydration due to their moisturising, refatting effect.

• Balm: Similar to cream, but even finer and gentler, skin balm protects and strengthens the skin's natural protective layer and promotes the regeneration of stressed or sensitive skin.

• Lotions: Skin wash lotions offer thorough cleansing that is also gentle on the skin. They have a skin-friendly pH value and valuable ingredients. In addition, lotions have a moisturising effect and prevent the skin from drying out or becoming irritated, even when used regularly in practice. Due to their high water content, they are absorbed particularly quickly, do not leave a greasy film and are therefore suitable for large-area skin care.

What to look out for in skin protection, skin cleansing and skin care

Products for reliable skin hygiene should meet important criteria, especially in the medical field, in order to strengthen the natural protective function of the skin. These include:

• Dermatologically tested, skin-compatible ingredients

• Reliable, skin-friendly cleansing and disinfection

• Moisturising and moisturising effect

• Skin-friendly pH value

• Without fragrances and dyes
