Abstract

A quick-drying, gel-type disinfectant composition useful for disinfecting the hands and fingers of workers such as doctors and nurses and patients in hospitals, which can readily be used without overflowing or falling from the hands and fingers and can be well spreaded onto the hands and fingers by rubbing with neither occurrence of twisted scale-like residue nor unpleasant stickiness before or after drying, which comprises a solution of a disinfectious medicament in an alcohol and a thickening agent consisting of a combination of a carboxyvinyl polymer and a water-soluble, high molecular cellulose compound.
