Infection Control Supplies - Prevent Illness From Spreading

Is it possible to stop the spread of illness? Hundreds of preventable illnesses are spread throughout hospitals daily. However, most of these illnesses can be contained using the right infection control equipment.

Thousands of needles and larger toxic materials are used within hospitals regularly. Sharps containers that are made from durable plastics come in a number of sizes and shapes that can easily accommodate all contaminated items. These containers cannot be tampered with, which easily places these toxic items out of harm's way.

There are also a number of items that can be worn by medical professionals including long-lasting items such as coats and overalls along with disposable items such as masks and foot coverings. All medical staff and personnel infection control products come in a large range of sizes and colors.

Patients can be protected from an air-borne illness by wearing sterile gowns, protective dental bibs, facial sheets and capes (for younger patients). While working to protect each patient, these items also come in numerous designs, colors, and sizes.

In addition, beds, operating tables, tools, sheets, corridors, rooms, bathrooms, and everything else within a medical facility should be scrubbed and disinfected regularly - including regular office equipment. Industrial strength soaps and sterilizers that have been specially formulated for the hospital environment provide an easy way to eliminate germs from hands and tools.

With the proper infection control supplies on hand at all times, diseases that should not be transferred from person to person can be easily controlled. From disinfecting soaps to toilet seat covers, keeping a medical supply closet well stocked is essential and simple.
