    HI all,
    Does anyone have any supportive information why staff cannot work in a
    clinical area, haemodialysis and cannulation of patients, when they are
    wearing a hand brace?
    The hand brace has a material part which wraps around the thumb.
    To my thinking this goes against good hand hygiene practices as the brace
    cannot be cleaned between patients.

    With best regards

    Hi Carolyn
    Hoffman et al 1985 on a study on wedding rings worn by nurses, resembles parallel to your query.
