Hi all,
I hope everyone is doing well.
A bit of an odd request, but wondering if anyone who works in operating
theatres (or manages IPC for theatres) has general thoughts on infection
control related to surgical drapes.I am working with medical supply company that is redesigning its surgical
drapes and gowns.Does anyone here make decisions about the choice of drapes your facility
uses? If so, what qualities or features are most important? Any issues with
the drapes you currently use (strikethrough, tearing, etc.)? Any specific
complaints?Sorry for the vague questions but we’re starting broad!
Cheers
