An essential part of preventing healthcare associated infections—
Hospitalised patients are inherently at a higher risk of infections, attributed largely to compromised immune systems. This vulnerability is substantiated by data indicating that 7% of patients in developed countries and 10% in developing countries will contract at least one healthcare-associated infection (HAI)1. The World Health Organization (WHO) further underscores the severity of this global health challenge, estimating that over 100 million individuals are affected by HAIs annually2. Additionally, research suggests that up to 70% of these infections could potentially be averted through appropriate hygiene practices3, stressing the critical role of effective infection control measures.
Ensuring the integrity of hospital environments through the use of high-quality disposable and reusable accessories becomes an essential part of mitigating the risk of nosocomial infections4. This is one of the reasons why our products are designed to meet the highest standards of usability and efficiency and play a pivotal role in this comprehensive approach. By facilitating infection control at every stage of the patient’s care pathway, we contribute significantly to enhancing patient safety and comfort. Dräger consumables and accessories are thoroughly tested and tried to suite the demands of critical care settings.In a hectic healthcare environment, full of administrative challenges5, we provide you with a wide range of consumables that support all patients, regardless of age, from admission to discharge.
