Infection Prevention & Control
Setting standards in HAI prevention
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a threat to patient safety. They can affect patients in all healthcare settings, negatively impacting morbidity and mortality and the costs of care.[1-3] No one should catch an avoidable infection while receiving or giving health care.
Life in our hands: Hand hygiene
Hands have been proven to be a major carrier of infectious organisms. A structured approach to hand hygiene is crucial for preventing infections and can make a difference.
Supporting health care professionals in preventing infections
The foundation of every successful medical treatment
Our products and services support health care professionals in establishing and maintaining a safety culture by implementing the latest evidence-based practices, guidelines and standard operating procedures. Partner with B. Braun to improve health outcomes.
Antibacterial whole-body wash
We recommend that an antibacterial whole-body wash be performed on all patients as a universal decolonization before their elective hospitalization and surgery. This is intended to reduce the burden of colonization with microbials.
Patient zone surfaces
Properly conducted surface cleaning and disinfection is a basic requirement for successful as well as sustainable hygiene in health care settings.
