Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a policy or information that can provide guidance on how a dental practitioner/dental assistant could manage with a larger beard?
My instant thought is that a mask would struggle to fit over it, and with the likelihood of frequent and routine generation of aerosols – the beard would have to go. Are there hairnets or other resources that could work to support the health care worker to keep the beard, yet still manage the infection control risk?

What if the beard is worn for cultural reasons? Does culture trump infection control?

Thanks a lot for considering this, I would value any insights.

Kylie

Hi,
We have wire shelving, but use transfers trays for instrument trays to sit on as you can get issues with drag marks and holes if you use wraps.

Dear Brains Trust

For those of you who utilise compactus storage systems in your Theatre Suites for housing procedure trays etc. Does your compactus system comprise solid shelving or wire shelving to allow potential dust to fall to floor?

With Thanks in advance
