Infection Risks in Electrotherapy

Self-adhesive electrodes collect dead skin and bacteria with every use, letting pathogens transfer between patients and staff. Considering the added dangers surrounding COVID-19, it is imperative that rehab practices take every measure to prevent the spread of infection.

The obvious choice for practices using electrotherapy is MicroBlock, the first and only antimicrobial electrode. MicroBlock incorporates an antiviral and antibacterial agent to kill dangerous microorganisms that are responsible for many healthcare-associated infections that effect patients today. The video illustrates the risks of contamination found when using electrotherapy, and how adding MicroBlock to your infection control protocols will serve to reduce infection risks.
