The surgical unit team at Torrevieja University Hospital’s Health Department has designed and implemented an updated latex management policy, “a critical initiative that raises safety standards for patients and healthcare personnel,” according to the department’s management.
Allergic effects
Since March, the new procedure has allowed us to confidently treat patients who are unaware of their latex allergy until the moment of exposure. This ensures safer care while reducing unforeseen dangers.
By decreasing the usage of latex-based materials, staff sensitisation and occupational allergy risk are greatly decreased, which is critical given the continual exposure in the surgical environment.
According to the same sources, minimising allergic responses allows the hospital to reduce problems linked with latex events as well as later treatments.
Good clinical practice
Furthermore, it facilitates procedural standardisation and is consistent with indications that latex-free surgical environments are a benchmark of good clinical practice.
The deployment of this cutting-edge technique illustrates Torrevieja University Hospital’s dedication to implementing best practices for patient safety.
