?:abstract
  • Healthcare linens act as a vector of microbial transmission through use, storage and handling. 2 In this retrospective multi-year, multi-site study, the impact of an infection prevention program, 3 that included an automated silver ion-based antimicrobial laundry treatment, was studied. A 4 composite reduction of 42% in healthcare associated infection (HAI) rates was observed, with 5 the biggest reductions associated with CAUTI and CDI rates. Although further study is needed 6 to better understand the exact contribution of such an intervention towards prevention of 7 HAIs, ionic silver treatment of healthcare textiles may prove to be a useful tool in HAI reduction 8 strategies.
