Is the whole-day use of surgical masks during the coronavirus pandemic increasing the contamination of surgeons’ masks?
Evaluating the impact of surgical masks’ conservation practices during the Coronavirus Disease pandemic in the bioburden of the operating room seems imperative, as they play a critical role against this pandemic. We demonstrate that surgeons’ masks tend to be contaminated due to the conservation tec...

description | Evaluating the impact of surgical masks’ conservation practices during the Coronavirus Disease pandemic in the bioburden of the operating room seems imperative, as they play a critical role against this pandemic. We demonstrate that surgeons’ masks tend to be contaminated due to the conservation techniques to maximize protection equipment during the pandemic. Health institutions should highlight the importance of surgical mask exchange to avoid increments in surgical mask contamination. |
