As part of its commitment to the education and support of healthcare professionals, Mölnlycke Health Care, manufacturers of the Biogel® surgical gloves range, has arranged a series of Surgical Gloves Experience Days, starting in January 2012.
The Surgical Gloves Experience Days, which are free to attend, provide delegates valuable information on surgical gloves, including the manufacturing process, the EN455 standard, how manufacturers perform to the required standard and how this impacts a healthcare professional's clinical practice. This will enable delegates to make an informed clinical or procurement based decision on selecting the right surgical glove for their needs. The interactive workshops are aimed at theatre staff, surgeons, clinical leads and procurement staff.
The day will also include a session on the financial impact of blood-borne viruses and needlestick injuries to staff and patients. Delegates will learn how these can be reduced with the introduction of the EU Sharps Directive which will require mandatory compliance for all healthcare facilities by 2013. Each delegate will receive a certificate of attendance, which will count towards their continuing professional development file.
