Antimicrobial Surgical Gloves:
Intriguing New Device that Could
Prevent Surgical Site Infections (SSI
By Patty Taylor, Vice President of Professional Education and Clinical Affairs, Ansell
Over the past few years, the use of antimicrobial medical devices has increased.
A key driver for the adoption of antimicrobial products is the need to eliminate
healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), particularly surgical site infections (SSIs)
and their associated grievous outcomes.
A recent prevalence study found that SSIs were the most common healthcareassociated infection, accounting for 31% of all HAIs among hospitalized patients
globally. In about 1 to 3 of every 100 patients, 8 to 9 infections develop.
Statistics
US
* 780,000 out of 30 million surgical
procedures performed annually result
in SSIs.
* SSIs result in $10 billion in direct and
indirect medical costs each year.
UK
* The estimated direct costs for a patient
who develops a surgical site infection are
between €2,265 and €2,518.
* SSIs accounted for 14% of HAIs.
* Nearly 5% of patients who had undergone
a surgical procedure were found to have
developed an SSI.
Europe
* Incidence of SSIs range from 1.5%
to 20%.
* SSIs contribute greatly to the economic
costs of surgical procedures; estimated
range: €1.47 billion - €19.1 billion.

Australia
* The Australian Council for Safety and
Quality in Health Care suggests that 2%
to 13% of patients suffer from SSIs.
* SSIs increased length of stay by six
days at a cost of $12,419 - $40,940
per patient.
* Total costs for SSIs are estimated at
$268 million per year.
* SSIs account for 7,000 deaths annually.
Canada
* Minor post-surgical infections add an
additional $5,000 - $10,000 per case,
while major procedures (e.g., orthopedic
or cardiac) increase the patient cost of
care by well over $100,000 per case.
