Surgical Clippers & Shavers

Why is surgical clipping so important?

Surgical site infections (SSIs) represent a significant burden to the healthcare system. That creates a burden on you— to prevent these costly events from ever happening. Effective preoperative hair removal is a way to help do just that.

For surgery, appropriate preoperative skin preparation is a key step to preventing SSIs. Research studies show that shaving causes multiple skin abrasions that later may become infected¹. Removing hair at the surgical site abrades the skin surface and enhances microbial growth. Hair at the surgical site should be left in place, whenever possible. When hair removal is required, hair should be clipped with an electric clipper².
