As 2019 ends, we would like to thank you for being part of the Eloquest Healthcare Blog! We hope you have found our posts both informative and impactful to your professional career.

We kicked 2019 off with new clinical evidence reviewing the qualitative and quantitative evidence supporting the use of Detachol® Liquid Adhesive for the reduction of CRBSI and MARSI. Detachol® Adhesive Remover is a nonirritating adhesive remover used to aid in the removal of dressings, tapes, and most sticky residue from the skin and other surfaces. Read more about the benefits of Detachol as they relate to improving outcomes, quality of care delivered and cost avoidance here.

One of our favorite blogs of the year featured a webinar presented by Gwen Borlaug, MPH, CIC, FAPIC, Infection Prevention Epidemiologist. Gwen led an in-depth discussion regarding interactions between Infection Preventionists and the surgical care team. We summarized the five key takeaways, which can be found here.

As the year progressed, we introduced new key pieces of clinical data. During the Association for Vascular Access (AVA) Annual Scientific Meeting in September of 2018, data from several quality improvement initiatives designed to increase dressing adhesion was presented. You can view some of those initiatives here.

Rounding out our clinical data for the year, we dug into the vascular access dressing adherence and hospital-acquired Infections data presented at the Association for Vascular Access (AVA) Annual Scientific Meeting in October of 2019.
