HOSPITAL ACQUIRED INFECTIONS

One of the biggest concerns you may have before your surgery is the risk of infection. We all are aware of the potential to develop a wound infection in hospital. However, it might surprise you to learn that the bugs that cause infections are carried by us all, even healthcare professionals. They only become infectious when they are in the wrong place at the wrong time – in your wound!

Preventing infection

Hospitals try to protect patients from infection by making staff and visitors use antimicrobial hand-wash or restricting the number of visitors a patient can have. It makes sense for you to protect yourself too, and this can be achieved by using an antiseptic body wash, HiBiSCRUB.

 

What can you do?

GOING INTO HOSPITAL?

HiBiSCRUB is a hospital-strength, antiseptic which you can use before going into hospital. It has been used in hospitals for over 40 years, and is a safe but antibacterial agent that is effective against bacteria for up to six hours after use.

By simply washing or bathing with HiBiSCRUB, you can substantially reduce the number of potentially harmful bacteria on your skin before you go into hospital. 

Reduce the risk of infection

Once in hospital, you can use it for general hygiene (washing, bathing), provided that your doctor has not advised against it.
