Efficacy and Limitations
Treatments reduce surface contamination but do not replace hand hygiene or laundering; efficacy varies by agent and wear cycle.
Use Cases
Useful in high contact areas such as interventional suites and mobile imaging where rapid turnover occurs; consider for staff with frequent patient contact.
Regulatory and Safety
Check certifications and safety data sheets for treated fabrics and follow institutional policies on antimicrobial textile use.
