Infection control practices have been around since Florence Nightingale wrote Notes on Nursing in 1859, but the science and practice has evolved greatly since then. Unfortunately, many of the pathogens have evolved at nearly the same pace and still thrive in spite of our best infection control efforts.
Our industry's experts and product designers are constantly improving infection control methods, sometimes introducing new concepts and technologies for fighting healthcare-associated infections. Here's a sampling of what's new among them. Some may save you time, others may save you money, but they all promise to help you keep pathogens at bay.
