Protection & Infection Prevention

Kimberly-Clark is a pioneer and market leader in single-use protective apparel. Our focus is on producing the best solutions in head-to toe protection for the healthcare worker that can help prevent the transfer of infection and contribute to a safer environment for everyone within a healthcare facility.

Healthcare- Associated Infections (HAIs)

In healthcare today, it’s more important than ever for clinicians to be equipped with the proper protective apparel. Used appropriately, the right gloves, gowns and masks help reduce the spread of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) among patients and visitors, as well as protecting healthcare workers themselves from contamination and infections that can occur from patient contact, pandemic influenzas and other sources. HAIs are a global issue representing an annual impact of between USD$5-$30 billion† worldwide to healthcare facilities.
