Professional Disposables International, a provider of infection prevention products for environmental hygiene, skin antisepsis, hand hygiene and patient care, has announced the launch of the Sani-Hands Bedside Pack, a hand-hygiene product accessible at a patient's bedside.
The Sani-Hands Bedside Pack contains 20 Sani-Hands wipes in a resealable package, intended to provide a conscious bedbound patient with a sufficient number of wipes for a typical stay in a hospital, including use before meals and after using the bathroom, according to a news release.
"It is widely accepted by infection preventionists that patients can help minimize their risk of infection by cleaning their hands often, especially after interacting with healthcare workers, touching objects such as remote controls, bed pans and even themselves," said Dr. J. Hudson Garrett Jr., director of clinical affairs for PDI, in the release. "Many infections actually come directly from patients' own flora found on their skin. Because of their limited mobility, bedbound patients can go a long time without washing their hands. This lack of hand hygiene — coupled with a fragile medical status — puts them at higher risk for infection."
The Sani-Hands Bedside Pack was announced at the Association For Infection Control and Epidemiology Annual Conference in Baltimore.
