Abstract
A total of 166 surgical blades consisting of control blades, skin blades, and deep blades were cultured from 50 elective podiatric surgical cases. Five blades from four cases cultured Staphylococcus epidermidis. The practice of changing from skin blade to deep blade to reduce contamination of a clean surgical wound is not supported by the data obtained in this study.Entities:
