Microbial contamination of topical medicaments used in the treatment and prevention of pressure sores.

R M Baird, J A Farwell, M Sturgiss, Z A Awad, R A Shooter.   

Abstract

Topical medicaments used in the treatment and prevention of pressure sores in patients in three hospitals were examined for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus contamination. Contamination rates were found to vary between hospitals and were affected by differences in the packaging of the product and in the method of application used by the nursing staff.
