BARRIER® Surgical Headwear – in different materials, styles and sizes
Helps to protect patients from surgical wound infections
Operating staff should be extra careful in covering body parts that poses a threat for the patient due to the risk of foreign particles falling into the surgical wound. This is especially true for the head - and particularly the hair. Our wide range of headwear offers different styles and fits, covering requirements for any type of operation, any shape and size of head and any hairstyle. Our surgical headwear reduces the risk of particles falling into the wound.1
Surgical headwear decreases risk of contamination
A study looked at contamination levels in surgery situations where the operating staff used a cap or surgical hood compared to no use of headwear at all. The results clearly highlight the benefits of using surgical headwear for lowering contamination rates.2
