Dear Michael
Thank for information.
The issue of re-use of paraffin wax before using on another client is addressed in section 3.5 of Infection Control Guidelines for Personal Appearance Services 2012 http://www.health.qld.gov.au/ph/documents/cdb/infectcontrolguide.pdf , and the recommended thermal treatment parameters are 130OC for 15 minutes.
I would like to know whether you have references to support the recommended thermal treatment parameters 130OC for 15 minutes for reuse of paraffin wax.
Regards,
Sony SO

Subject: Re: infection control for paraffin bath using in Physio DeptParaffin wax baths are used in physiotherapy as a treatment for osteoarthritis, and also in beauty treatments.
QLD Health has some guidance on the use of paraffin wax for beauty treatments, which may be of use. See Section 3.5 of the linked guidelines.
The part that is missing in these guidelines is the contraindication of skin lesions or wounds in areas treated with paraffin wax, which also has an infection control implication.
http://www.health.qld.gov.au/ph/documents/cdb/infectcontrolguide.pdf
I cannot find any specific infection control reference for physiotherapists in Australia in regard to paraffin wax baths, but it may be useful to contact the APA directly to see if they have any guidelines.
