Prefense is a revolutionary new hand sanitizer that protects users from germs with just one application per day. The patented, alcohol-free formula soothes and moisturizes hands while providing up to 24-hours of protection.

This bond locks Prefense protection to the skin until it sheds naturally after 24-60 hours.

By giving providers, payers, and patients the information they need to work together more effectively and efficiently, everyone wins.
