Infection control experts agree that cleaner hospitals are safer hospitals. But while hand washing and disinfecting hard surfaces like countertops, floors, bed rails and instruments have helped reduce infection rates, their effectiveness is limited. These procedures rely on proper training, diligent behavior and compliance, all of which are difficult to administer. What’s more, hands and hard surfaces are quickly and easily recontaminated. Infection prevention policies do not address the most prevalent and overlooked component of the healthcare environment – Soft

Silverguard Combats Soft Surface Bacterial Contamination

There is a void in our everyday infection prevention practices. With healthcare associated infections causing nearly 100 000 deaths annually and costing the healthcare system billions, we simply can’t afford to ignore soft surface bacterial management. We need to think about strategies to reduce the potential transfer of bacteria from soft surfaces to patients. Soft surface textiles, like other environmental surfaces, play an important role in the transmission of bacteria in the healthcare setting. They have been proven to act
