Our approach emphasizes standard precautions and transmission-based precautions to effectively manage the risk of infection transmission in healthcare facilities.

Our trained healthcare workers utilize appropriate personal protective equipment while maintaining contact with the patient, thereby safeguarding both their health and that of the wider community.
At Vital Wound Care, we implement an evidence-based infection prevention program developed by skilled infection preventionists. This program encompasses infection prevention education to patients and training in infection prevention for staff, ensuring that all personnel understand infection prevention policies and procedures. We actively address challenges such as bloodborne pathogens and antimicrobial resistance, working diligently to prevent infection and manage the incidence of healthcare-associated infections effectively.
Our Infection Control Services:
Our Infection Control Services are designed to ensure a safe environment in healthcare settings by implementing effective infection control measures. Our team of infection preventionists works diligently to establish written infection prevention policies that guide healthcare providers in the application of appropriate infection prevention strategies. This includes the management of respiratory infections, particularly in outpatient and long-term care facilities, where vulnerable populations are at higher risk.
We prioritize environmental infection control in healthcare settings, ensuring that single-patient rooms are utilized when necessary to minimize cross-contamination. Our comprehensive approach also encompasses the safe administration of injections and the enforcement of infection control in health-care facilities to protect both patients and hcp (healthcare personnel). Through rigorous training and adherence to established control measures, we strive to uphold the highest standards of public health and safety.

In addition, Vital Wound Care prioritizes the use of appropriate PPE and sterilization techniques to safeguard both patients and healthcare providers. This includes thorough cleaning and maintenance of medical equipment to minimize the risk of cross-contamination.
