Infection Prevention and Control
Anyone receiving treatment in a healthcare setting is at risk of developing an infection. This is known as healthcare associated infection (HCAI). HCAIs can increase the length of hospital stays and treatment costs.
Infection Prevention and Control practice is the basis of any successful medical treatment. Without effective measures in place, HCAIs can lead to increased hospital stays, significant additional costs and in some cases can be fatal.1
With the right measures in place up to 50% of HCAIs can be prevented.2
Hands have been proven to be a major carrier of infectious organisms. A structured approach to hand hygiene is crucial for preventing infections.

Decolonisation is required before certain medical procedures to minimise the risk of infection. Prontoderm is an effective solution for total patient decolonisation (skin, hair, nose and throat) of multi-drug-resistant-organisms (incl. MRSA, VRE and ESBL).

Surgical bundles have been proven to reduce surgical site infections (SSI) by up to 53%.3 The B. Braun SSI pathway provides interventions at each stage of the patient’s journey:
BEFORE SURGERY: Pre-operative patient decolonisation with Prontoderm®
DURING SURGERY: Irrigation during surgery with LavaSurge®
AFTER SURGERY: Post-operative wound management with Prontosan®
