Only 6 of the 18 top antimicrobial resistance threats cost the US more than $4.6 billion annually.
Hospital-onset MRSA infections cost between $25,272 - $36,724 per infection.
Hospital-onset CR Acinetobacter infections cost between $20,377 - $128,235 per infection.
The Pathogen Pouch is an integrated wrapper panel on the interior of disposable isolation gowns, drapes, and mats. This simple, but ingenious solution enables the gown to be self contained in the pouch for safe disposal. This solution directly attacks the potential for transmission of deadly pathogens that cause hospital acquired infections (HAI) at the source.
When healthcare staff use the proper doffing procedure with disposable isolation gowns with integrated Pathogen Pouch, it assures the deadly pathogens are contained inside the pouch and prevents any additional exposure after disposal.
Improper isolation gown disposal not only impacts hospital cleanliness and HCAHPS scores, but also puts the patients and staff at greater risk for transmission of infectious pathogens.
Effective disposal with integrated Pathogen Pouch products has shown to improve appearance of hospital spaces, improved patient satisfaction, reducing waste volume and number of trash pulls.
In a study examining doffing of 48 health care personnel (HCP) across eight units, deviation in the process of doffing were numerous. The variation and or errors occurred with rolling up the disposable isolation gowns with bare hands, not rolling up the gown with removal resulting in overflowing trash receptacles and gowns on the floor. These factors contribute to the lack of cleanliness of the room as perceived by patients and families.
