Surgical skin preparation has long started many a debate over the correct method and solutions. In this webinar, we'll explore what the current literature is recommending and how we can adapt human hospital standards to our much hairier veterinary patients. Inadequate practices can increase the risk of surgical site infections and incorrect use of antiseptics can contribute to the wider issue of growing antimicrobial resistance. Instigating change can be difficult but taking an evidence-based approach can help introduce new skin preparation protocols.
