Name Badges Worn in the Operating Theatre

[Dalrymple, Ruth]

Dear All,

I have been asked whether or not it is an infection control hazard to
wear Name Badges in the operating theatre? This does not include ,
naturally, the wearing of badges on sterile gowns only on the non
sterile theatre attire.

Thanks.
