Clippers: Clinically Recommendedfor safe and effective hair removal

Clinical trials and peer-reviewed studies

confirm that surgical site infection rates are

significantly reduced with pre-surgical clipping

instead of a traditional razor shave.1 Clippers

are not only a safe, effective alternative to

shaving, they are now clinically preferred for

pre-surgical hair removal.

Centers for Disease Control and PreventionIf hair is removed, remove immediately before

the operation, preferably with electric clippers.2

Institute for Healthcare Improvement…other factors under the control of the operative

team have been demonstrated to affect signifi-

cantly the risk of SSI. These other factors

include avoiding shaving the operative site…3

SCIP INF-6…hair removal with clippers or depilatory is

considered appropriate. Shaving is considered

inappropriate.4

AORNIf the presence of hair will interfere with the

surgical procedure…Hair should be clipped

using a single-use, electric or battery operated

clipper…5

The Joint Commission

NPSG.07.05.01 requires organizations to

implement best practices for prevention of SSI.
