Sterile Surgical Gloves | Puncture Indication
With needlestick and other sharps injuries in the OR increasing the risk of exposure to blood-borne viruses
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
Studies show that OR staff are exposed to patients’ blood 1 in every 10 surgeries (10.4 per 100 procedures)
Why puncture indication?
Surgical gloves can increase patient and clinical safety in the OR. It stands to reason that fewer glove failures will reduce the potential exposure to pathogens – and the related costs. Puncture Indication reduces the risk of an inner-glove perforation by 71% compared to single gloving
