I wrote a series of blogs for this medical device company. Topics focused on various issues related to preventing infection in patients and healthcare workers. The blogs highlighted AliMed’s line of infection control products.

Transfer patients, not pathogens
In the course of a hospital stay, a patient may be transferred one, two, or multiple times. While necessary for diagnostic or therapeutic interventions, patient transfers can also lead to the transfer of infectious agents. Pathogens, including resistant, hard-to-treat bacteria such as MRSA and C. difficile, may be passed from patient to caregiver, then from caregiver to other patients.

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) like these are a growing and dangerous threat, sickening hundreds of thousands of patients a year and responsible for more than 75,000 deaths.

Positioned for Protection
Because bacteria and viruses can thrive on common hospital materials and fabrics, choosing antimicrobial positioning products can reduce the risk of infection by killing germs before they have a chance to spread. AliMed is a leader in advanced infection control solutions for hospitals and other healthcare settings.
