Une protection efficace contre le risque infectieux en Implantologie : un nouveau gant viro protecteur

Performing surgery on a patient infected with bloodborne pathogens (human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus,…) is always hazardous. Every hand injury may lead to exposure to bloodborne pathogens. The G-VIR^® glove is an innovative device against exposure risk. Its unique active barrier design allows to expel disinfectant on the sharp when it breaches, the viral load transmitted through the glove is therefore reduced. Furthermore this glove does not hinder the dexterity of the surgeon (as shown by a clinical study performed at Biomatech and Lyon Sud Hospital). This glove has to be considered as the standard for some regions of the world, or in some circumstances when performing mass surgery and conversely in well focused cases as human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis C virus positive patient in our countries and hospitals. Its cost is low when compared to the infection risk and in order to prevent occupational infection it should be used each time it is considered as beneficial. The glove which makes it possible!
