METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLEANING HANDS AND THE LIKE Filed Feb. 12, 1963 IN V EN TOR.

United States Patent 3,205,620 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLEANING HANDS AND THE LIKE Harmon H. Woodworth, Los Altos, and Peter M. Newgard, Redwood City, Qalitl, assignors, by mesne assignments, to American Sterilizer Company, Erie, Pa, a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed Feb. 12, 1963, Ser. No. 257,928 12 Claims. ((Il. 51-8) This invention is a method and apparatus for cleaning surgeons hands and arms by a blast or jet of abrasive particles suspended in alcohol. The abrasive particles dislodge dirt and bacteria which are flushed away and killed by the alcohol. The end result is surgical cleanliness in a matter of seconds with more comfort than the time consuming surgical scrub.
In the drawing, the single figure is a diagrammatic view of one form of apparatus.
The apparatus has a tank 1 filled to a level 2 with alcohol and having in its bottom a motor 3 driving an agitator 4, setting up circulatory currents in the direction of arrows 5 for maintaining abrasive particles dispersed throughout the alcohol. These abrasive particles may be plastic, abrasive, metal. The high velocity jets with entrained solid particles loosen the contaminants by direct momentum exchange and supply the excess of fluid to carry the dislodged contaminants away. Thirty mesh sand is a convenient abrasive with the particles sizes ranging from .002 to .020 inch in diameter. Three parts alcohol to one part abrasive particle-s by volume is a convenient mixture.
The space above the alcohol level 2 is pressurized by compressed gas from a compressed gas reservoir 7 connected to the upper part of the tank 1 through a pressure regulating valve 8. The pressure in the gas reservoir 7 is maintained in the usual manner by a gas compressor 9.
The normal concentration of alcohol in the tank 1 is from 60 to 95% ethyl alcohol by weight at room temperature with the balance water. This concentration is maintained by a suitable concentration controller 10 which feeds makeup alcohol from a reservoir 11 of 95 alcohol and water.
The pressurized alcohol with the abrasive particles suspended therein is conducted through a conduit 12 and valve 13 and flexible hose 14 to a nozzle ring 15 having a plurality of inwardly directed nozzles 16 through which jets 17 are discharged. Commercial nozzles which produce a flattened jet may be used. The selection and arrangement of the nozzles is arranged to provide uniform coverage. The nozzle ring 15 is connected through a shaft 18 to a traverse mechanism 19 which moves the ring back and forth within the Wash compartment 20. A seal 21 is provided for the shaft 18. An arm seal 22 prevents leakage during the washing operation.
To avoid an explosive alcohol air mixture within the washing compartment 20, an indifferent gas such as nitrogen is supplied from a reservoir 23 through a reducing valve 24.
In use, the surgeon inserts his arm 25 through the arm seal 22 which initially positions the fingertips generally within the nozzle ring 15. The valve 13 is then opened and the traversing mechanism 19 started to move the nozzle ring 15 toward the left. A mixture of alcohol and abrasive particles is discharged in the form of jets 17 against the fingers, hand and ultimately the wrist and arm as the nozzle ring continues its traverse. The rate of traverse of the nozzle ring 15 may be varied in accordance with the bacteria population which is highest on the hands and fingers and much less on the arms. Although the jet velocity is high, for example 60 or ice more feet per second, the comfort level is superior to the presently used bristle brush. The abrasive particles strike the skin at a high angle of incidence and dislodge dirt and bacteria. The alcohol flushes away the dirt and bacteria and also kills some of the bacteria. The alcohol and abrasive mixture collects in the bottom of the washing compartment 20 and is returned to the tank 1 through valve 26 and pump 27.
At the end of the washing operation there may be some abrasive particles adhering to the skin. Accordingly, it is desirable that these particles be flushed off with alcohol. This can be done by stopping the agitator 3, 4 so that the jets 17 now contain essentially alcohol, although there may be some traces of abrasive remaining. On the return traverse of the nozzle ring 15, the jets of alcohol flush off any adherent particles of abrasive.
Instead of 7 minutes for the currently used surgical scrub, the entire operation can be completed in 30 seconds or less.
The compressed air supplied to the upper part of the tank 1 is not discharged through the jets 17. It merely serves to pressurize the alcohol or alcohol and abrasive dispersion so that jets of the required velocity emerge from the nozzle ring. This is merely one way of obtaining the airless blast of alcohol or alcohol and abrasive as the case may be. Other expcdients for pressurizing the alcohol are available. Other apparatus is available to produce a high velocity jet of alcohol and suspended solid particles.
During the washing operation, the surgeon is free to turn and otherwise shift the position of his hand, arm and fingers to insure complete coverage of the surfaces to be cleaned.
The end result of the cleaning is surgical cleanliness comparable with that obtained by conscientious use of the currently used surgical scrub procedures. The results are, however, obtained in much less time and because of the possibility of more accurate control, both of the cleaning media and of the operational times, greater uniformity of cleanliness can be obtained.
What is claimed as new is:
1. The method of cleaning hands and the like having surfaces to be cleaned which comprises confining the hand within an enclosure, directing airless jets of alcohol and suspended abrasive particles against said surfaces.
