Biogel Safety
With needlestick and other sharps injuries in the OR increasing the risk of exposure to blood-borne viruses 1 , double-gloving with a puncture indicator system can help.
Imagine the stress, trauma and treatment cost if you or a colleague were infected with hepatitis or HIV. And for your patients, a surgical site infection could double the length of their hospital stay 1 and require an extra week of antibiotic therapy 1 .
Studies show that OR staff are exposed to patients’ blood 1 in every 10 surgeries (10.4 per 100 procedures) 2 – while seven out of each 100 hospitalised patients in developed countries will acquire at least one healthcare-acquired infection 3 . It’s vital to reduce the risks and costs associated with preventable healthcare-acquired infections.
