The Practice
The Risk
Patients are exposed to potential Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAI's) via the innocuous use of a stethoscope. 100,000 patients die each year from MRSA alone, and thousands also become seriously ill.
Current Practice
The Mayo study also pointed out the use of alcohol wipes not only is ineffective, but creates a chemical reaction that makes the situation even worse.
The Solution
Providing a barrier is always the ultimate solution to prevent transmission of unwanted germs. Crossblock is fast, convenient and inexpensive.
