For those who work in a unit with a hydotherapy tub...

by msohf6

How do you protect yourselves from the water. I am looking for some long elbow-shoulder length gloves. Currently we just have these cheap plastic long gloves that look like they were made out of plastic wrap. I would like to feel a bit more protected when sticking my arm into a tub filled with bloody/wound drainage water. Thanks for the input!

We stopped using the big baths as it was felt that if there was areas of infection and non infected burnt tissue or grafts that there would be a risk of cross infection within the wound sites
