2025-12-30Accurate surveillance for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) is essential for infection prevention and regulatory compliance.

Efficacy of Placing Tape over Glove-Protective Clothing Interfac...
2025-12-25Personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial for healthcare personnel (HCP) to protect against infections from exposure to body fluids containing bloodborne pathogens such as Ebola, HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. Despite advancements in PPE materials, interface regions, particularly the junction between gloves and protective clothing, remain vulnerable to fluid leakage. Although taping these interfaces is a common practice, its efficacy has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study examined the barrier performance of various tape models applied at the glove–protective clothing interface using a quantitative fluid leakage test.
