How ACM products can help provide a

sterile environment and safer treatments

for clients and patients

Common areas that increase the risk of cross-contamination include:

Non-sterile/aseptic treatment consumables
Gloves not being worn by the practitioner
Unsanitary treatment room, bedding and surfaces
Unsanitised hands spreading germs.
Areas not often considered by practitioners, that increase the risk of cross-contamination include:

Not properly disinfecting the patient’s skin
Touching machine consoles and buttons during a procedure (and then touching the patient’s skin)
Using equipment that does not utilise sterile, single-use and disposable consumables
Both SURFACE and AIR to be disinfectioned.

Forms of cross infection to be aware of include the transfer of microorganisms such as:

Bacterium (such as Golden Staph/Staphylococcus Aureus and its many forms)
Viruses
Fungi
Parasites.

The risks involved with Dermapen alternatives, such as micro-needling, are that pathogenic contaminants can enter the cartridge during
a treatment and pose a risk of cross-contamination. As with any procedure, practitioners should take precaution when determining
whether the procedure and treatment is right for their business and potential risk to clients/ patients. There are precautions practitioners
can take to promote the most sanitary work environment and reduce micro-needling device cross-contamination using DermapenWorld
and Dp Dermaceuticals Anti-Contamination Management (ACM) products endorsing the importance of preventative measures through
ACM initiatives which include Dp Dermaceuticals CliniPrep antimicrobial cleanser, Dermapen DpSleeves, Dp Dermaceuticals ACM Sterile
Dressing Kit, DermapenWorld ACM Protection Mask, ACM Eco-Green Disposable Examination Gloves and Sterile Surgical Gloves. Protocoled
Dermapen treatments ensure complete patient safety by reducing any risk of cross-contamination, giving practitioners a peace of mind.
