We have put together resources designed to help your patients understand the importance of preventing bloodstream infections. We also have compiled useful tips and instructions on how to properly implement aseptic technique.
Bacteria Training Kit
This kit enables you to demonstrate the ease with which bacteria can spread. It uses fluorescent materials to simulate skin-borne bacteria and black light illumination to show how they can be unintentionally spread from the hands to other surfaces. This demonstration provides a powerful example of how bacteria can be transferred to patients' mixing materials and to their catheter if proper aseptic technique is not followed.
This kit includes:
- Demonstration instructions
- Black light
- Fluorescent powder
- Stress ball
- Aseptic Mixing Kit Guide
- In-office poster to highlight the importance of aseptic technique
