Infection Prevention, Safety and Best Practices

Infection Prevention and Safety in the O.R.

Did you know?

Double-gloving is only one of many ways to help present surgical site infections (SSIs).1

Infection prevention includes minimizing risks associated with gloves, such as contamination during procedures, and ensuring proper infection control during OR turnover. Best practices, including the use of antimicrobial linens to prevent surgical site infections and timely glove changes, are crucial in reducing infection risks and safeguarding patient outcomes in the operating room.

Learn how to help decrease your patient’s risk.
