PPE & Infection Control

Our collections are structured for quick access to essential infection control supplies used across healthcare settings and PPE for occupational safety. These categories support infection risk management and routine clinical procedures, including patient care, surface disinfection, and equipment handling.

Supply selection is influenced by patient volume, type of care, and the regulatory requirements that guide safe clinical practice. Factors such as frequency of patient interaction, level of exposure risk, and the need for routine versus specialized procedures all play a role in determining appropriate product use. As a result, different care environments require tailored approaches:

Across all of these settings, infection control practices and the use of PPE form a coordinated system used to limit disease transmission across all of these environments. This system is built on two core components:          

• Infection Control Examples: Products and practices that prevent the spread of pathogens, including hand hygiene, surface disinfection, and instrument sterilization.
• Personal Protective Equipment Examples: Physical barriers that protect healthcare workers from potential exposure, including gloves, gowns, and respiratory protective equipment. These are selected according to the level of risk and type of exposure.

Together, these elements create a comprehensive approach to infection risk management. By aligning product selection with the specific needs of each environment, healthcare providers can maintain effective infection prevention practices while ensuring compliance with established clinical standards.
