Hi Jenny McCarthy,
I once did a micro swabbing exercise for Hand hygiene day and interestingly there was very little environmental growth form the samples, however the Lanyard I swabbed (worn by an RN) grew a Bacillus. Just anecdotal evidence but certainly of interest.
Kind regards,
Chris

You don’t often get email from jenny@maryvaleph.com.au. Learn why this is important
Good morning all
Just after some advice on lanyards – yes or no?
We have not used them here in years, but our relatively new exec team want to reintroduce them.
They have said they will be of a silicone material and can be wiped down regularly (not sure how that will go!!!)
Does anyone have any recent articles/research regarding this that I could use?
Thanks
Jenny
