Hi

If it is a wrist brace verses a band as for jewellery , then you need to
request doctor letter if is needed for support and go through your HR rules

Kind Regards,

HI Amanda

I would suggest to check with your HR team regarding the contract of
employment under the Heading of Uniform.

Their maybe a statement included regarding not wearing jewellery ,
bracelets etc .

If not included there then I would refer to Infection Control Policy of
your organisation regarding hand hygiene

Evidence based best practice as per the Australian Guidelines for the
Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare (2019) state in relation
to hand hygiene

P38 Technique

Key factors in effective hand hygiene and maintaining skin integrity
include [19]:

the exposure of all surfaces of hands and wrists to the preparation used

Perhaps toolbox sessions to support improving staff understanding of why
the silicone bands pose a risk to ineffective hand hygiene would help along
with other strategies suggested in a Bare Below the Elbows Project
Presentation at the ACIPC Conference in 2021

https://acipcconference.com.au/events/bare-below-the-elbow-project

Good Luck

Kind regards

Catherine

Hi Amanda, I would definitely insist they be removed. I have a medic alert
bracelet that I cannot wear at work as per guidelines, and I feel the
silicone bands are far less important than that.

Theres always push-backs, but the guidelines are there for a reason.

Good luck

Hello everyone

Im wanting your thoughts on silicone wrist braces and being able to
maintain correct hand hygiene. I have been reinforcing to staff that they
need to be bare below the elbow and I have had some push back with
someone personal care worker wanting to wear a silicone wrist brace. I
would really appreciate any information and to hear what others are doing .

Hi Lincoln,

For surfaces you can try with hot Water

– Scrub the area with small strokes in a back-and-forth motion.

– If the residue still doesnt seem to be lifting after a few minutes, soak
the area in the hot soapy water for up to 20 minutes, and then give it
another scrub.

– After the residue is gone, wipe the area dry to remove any last traces of
adhesive

Best

Something similar to coconut oil can remove applied on the cloth.

Try that.
