Hello Jude

Wounds Australias publication Application of Aseptic Technique in Wound Dressing Procedure (3rd edition) provides good risk-based guidance on this topic in relation to all healthcare settings including aged care homes, which you may find helpful.

Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] sterilizing instruments

Hi Folks

I need the hive mind again. Our RACF is attached to the hospital and previously we have sent instruments like scissors to the hospital theatre for sterilization. In practice this has meant that often the instruments never come back to us. Does anyone know if there is a solution that will sterilize instruments without damaging them. Would a product like Isowipes be acceptable to clean scissors prior to cutting fingernails?

Cheers
