The Growing Threat of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs)
Every year, millions of patients worldwide suffer from infection prevention technology hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), such as:
-
MRSA (antibiotic-resistant staph infections)
-
Catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs)
-
Surgical site infections (SSIs)
-
Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs)
These infections increase hospital stays by 7-10 days and cost healthcare systems billions annually.
