Existing clinical research shows that changing gloves after placental delivery, before final closure, reduces surgical site infection rates. Our analysis of this simple change in practice can reduce costs and release capacity for NHS maternity services by reducing hospital readmissions and community follow-up. It is an effective way to reduce spending and utilise resources more efficiently while also improving maternal outcomes.
Benedict Stanberry, Principal at the Institute of Healthcare Leadership and Management in Oxford
With more women undergoing major surgery, the risk of complications is rising. Cesarean sections carry some of the highest rates of surgical site infection. This study shows that something as simple as changing gloves before wound closure can make a real difference for mothers and maternity care services. Our Biogel® gloves are designed to make that best practice easy and seamless, so clinicians can stay focused on what matters most: caring for patients,
