Rehab Infection Prevention Tips

The Goal of the Rehab Infection Prevention Project is to Make Your Facility Safe from Infection

Establish disinfection protocols to prevent cross contamination

Design protocols for consistent use of alcohol-based hand rub.
Use EPA-registered cleaners with label claims for use in healthcare.
Clean reusable equipment between patients and maintain according to manufacturer's instructions.

Choose & Use Materials Wisely

Select seamless products made of metal, copper and hard plastics instead of fabric or wood.
Monitor, repair and replace damaged items as soon as possible.
Use covers and barriers.

Opt for Single-Patient Use & Disposable Products

GelShot™, single-patient use, hermetically sealed ultrasound gel discs feature a built-in antimicrobial agent for optimum protection.
Seal multi-dose gel containers appropriately. Replace - don’t refill - when empty.
Performa Easy Sleeve disposable pack covers are an ideal choice and eliminate laundering.

MAKE SURE MOIST HEAT ESSENTIALS DON'T BECOME A BREEDING GROUND

Utilize non-corrosive heat therapy units like HydraTherm™ to prevent the formation of rust, mold and mildew.
Use heat-sealed packs like HydraHeat™ that feature a bacteria-resistant outer material.
