Skin disinfection: protecting patients and staff
Human skin plays a crucial dual role. Doctors and medical staff must protect their skin and ensure that it does not transmit dangerous diseases. The patient’s skin must be cut to allow entry into the patient’s body.
Skin antiseptics are used to prevent the transmission of infection to the skin, mucous membranes, wounds, and also help destroy and destroy microbes present in the air (transient flora) and reduce local flora (resident flora).
Skin disinfection is aimed, in particular, at the local flora. Indeed, these microbes pose a particular threat to the internal parts of the body. Disinfection is necessary before any medical interventions involving penetration of the skin barrier: punctures, injections, catheter installation and surgical operations.
