ACCUMED Protective Eyewear: Essential for Infection Control
ACCUMED protective eyewear is crucial for shielding care workers’ eyes from exposure to infectious agents. It is used when there is a risk of:
- Droplets or aerosols (e.g., from oral suctioning)
- Splashes or sprays of blood or body fluids (e.g., when emptying catheter bags)
Eyewear is worn during the care of individuals with infections spread by droplet or airborne routes.
Golden Rules for Protective Eyewear:
- Remember that the outside of the eyewear is contaminated.
- Remove using the headband or ear pieces.
- Clean the eye shield after each use with detergent and water, then allow it to dry.
- If the eyewear is single-use, dispose of it after the care activity.
Handling Medical Devices
Indwelling medical devices, such as urinary catheters and intravenous catheters, provide a route for infection to enter the body. When handling these devices, care workers are at risk of exposure to blood and body substances.
