An Innovative Technology with Vacuum Support in Providing Safe Epilation Before Surgical Cutting

Abstract

Surgical intervention continues to be the first choice in many cases, either mandatory or optional, with curative, palliative and prophylactic purposes such as diagnostic, explorative, ablative, reconstructive, constructive. Surgical field infections are the most common healthcare-related infections. Therefore, the importance of innovative approaches to prevent surgical site infections is increasing day by day. In this review, "a vacuum assisted surgical hair clipper" is proposed as an innovative technology to provide safe epilation to prevent health care-related infections.
