Pathogens are closer than you think when using standard glove boxes, contributing to the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Despite most of the staff believing they were compliant, only 42% performed hand hygiene before gloving, and 75% of gloves sampled from patient rooms were contaminated with at least one bacterial species. This document highlights the need for improved practices to reduce contamination at critical glove-pull points. SmartBox™ provides a solution, reducing glove contamination in the box by 44% through its innovative design that supports clean glove-pull criteria by pushing gloves to the box opening. These findings underscore the importance of adopting contamination-reducing glove box designs like SmartBox to enhance infection prevention strategies and reduce HAIs.
