Hydrocollators

[Anonymous]

Dear All,
Do any of your facilities still use hydrocollators in the physiotherapy department/rehab/maternity wards for heat packs? What processes do you have in place to monitor that these meet infection control requirements?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone,
I am also interested in how hydrocollators are being managed from an infection prevention and control perspective.

Kind regards,
