associated infections.

hand hygiene possible.

for administrators

• Educational tools for patients

and their families on the

importance of clean hands

• Placards to promote

the hand hygiene message

Along with the compliance program, Medline offers a broad

portfolio of products that support evidence-based recommendations.

This brochure outlines many of those choices. Your Medline

facility—that addresses your requirements and respects your budget.
