  • Title: Improving operating room cleaning results with microfiber and steam technology.
    Author: Gillespie E, Brown R, Treagus D, James A, Jackson C.
    Journal: Am J Infect Control; 2016 Jan 01; 44(1):120-2. PubMed ID: 26476495.
    Abstract:
    Microfiber and steam technology is a novel cleaning method that has advantages for clinical applications. We describe its use in the operating room. The benefits include improved cleaning for every patient regardless of known or perceived risk, occupational health and safety advantages, and reduced cost of cleaning, allowing for expansion of cleaning activity without the need for additional human resources. Continuous surgical site infection surveillance demonstrated that infections remained at previously low levels.
