How Does Barrier Packaging Contribute to Infection Control?
Barrier packaging helps in infection control by: - Preventing Contamination: It protects sterile products from becoming contaminated during storage and transport. - Reducing Cross-Contamination: In healthcare settings, single-use barrier packaging can help limit the spread of pathogens between patients. - Ensuring Sterility: For medical devices and pharmaceuticals, maintaining sterility is paramount to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
