The Hidden World of Biofilm: Exploring the Dangers Lurking in our Instruments


Listen Later

What do the plaque on your teeth, soap scum, and slippery rocks down by the creek all have in common? They’re all examples of biofilm! But these aren’t the only places that biolfims can form – they can also be found on our surgical instruments and inside our bodies. Joining us today to talk about all things biofilm is Mike Matthews, Director of Customer Education at Agiliti. In this interview, we’ll discover how biofilm forms, the ways in which it can cause infection, and what we can do in the Operating Room to help prevent it. Stay tuned!
