About patient bibs and holders
This shelf holds disposable patient bibs and the clips and holders that fasten them, including a disposable holder sold by the box. The CDC notes that rotary dental and surgical instruments and air-water syringes create a visible spray of water, saliva, blood, microorganisms and other debris that settles out quickly on nearby surfaces, on staff or on the patient.
A study of reusable bib chains describes multiple-use dental napkin holders as carrying a relatively low risk of transmitting infection, while still requiring disinfection between patients. A second study of reusable rubber-faced metal bib clips reports the same starting point: they are thought to need only disinfection between patient visits.
What to look at when choosing patient bibs and holders
Layers and backing: the bibs on this shelf combine tissue plies with a poly backing.
Clip type: one study found a statistically significant difference in bacterial load between the two types of clip it tested. It also found that disinfection of the bib clips was highly effective in both clinics studied.
What disinfection leaves: the second study found that although disinfection was significantly effective, some clips still carried at least one bacterium afterwards. Those were typical skin or environmental isolates, though some were oral in origin. In the settings studied, the authors report that bacteria on the clips did not indicate an infectious disease problem.
For a single-use holder, the CDC rule is to use it for one patient only and dispose of it appropriately.
