| Article – Hand Washing Products: "Cleanliness
& Comfort Working Hand in Hand" |
The
Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
consistently said that the best prevention for the
spread of infection is hand hygiene, and while use of
gloves and pre-op scrubs is now standard practice in
hospitals and surgical centers worldwide, some reports
still show hand hygiene compliance as low as 40 percent.
Fortunately, there are a number of companies striving to
provide the healthcare community with surgical scrubs,
hand washing solutions, and antiseptic rubs that are
reliable, convenient, and comfortable, thereby helping
to boost compliance and improve patient outcomes across
the board.
