Surgical site infections (SSIs) occur after 2.6% to 5% of procedures,1,2 and they are the leading hospital-acquired infection (38%) for surgery patients.1 While spending an extra 7 to 10 days in the hospital,1 patients who develop SSIs are also twice as likely to die.3 For hospitals, each infection costs an average of $25,546.4 For elderly patients, the costs skyrocket to $40,000.5
Fortunately, SSIs are potentially preventable.2 Sage 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate* Cloths (CHG) address a known risk factor for SSIs-microorganisms on the skin.1
