- Manual moisturizing (hand contact dependent) post anesthesia surgeries is a significant risk factor in Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI).
- Acquired infection in medical institutions is a worldwide phenomenon causing mortality of hundreds of thousands patients around the world.
- To avoid infection due to hand contact a tough hand hygiene policy should be imposed but unfortunately the conditions in hospital wards impose on the medical staff heavy workloads, so that efficient antiseptic hand hygiene is almost impossible, which is exactly where Lipsus®comes in.
- For that reason Lipsus®is a “life-saving” product, safeguarding patients as well as medical staff from dangerous acquired infections.
An innovative lip moisturizing device for the recovery period post anesthesia surgeries
Making the Lipsus® solution an integral part of your facilities post anesthesia surgery procedures is a continued step towards modern, effective, hands-free treatment. Patients recovering from full anesthetic surgery are prevented from drinking water for a number of hours (depending on the type of operation). About 60% suffer from dry lips at different levels, with 7 being the average on a scale from 1 to 10. Abstention from drinking water extends to many other medical conditions, such as fasting before general anesthesia, cancer patients during chemotherapy, geriatric patients suffering from a dysfunctional salivary gland and others. Manual moisturizing is primitive, inefficient, improves short-term dryness only and dictates frequent and repetitive lip-hydration activity. Manual moisturizing (hands contact) is a significant risk factor in Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI).
