ABSTRACT• BRUSHLESS SCRUBBING rapidly is becoming an accepted method for surgical hand scrubbing. • AN EVALUATION was undertaken at an acute care hospital in the southeastern United States to examine brushless scrubbing before laminectomy, craniotomy, and colectomy procedures. • PATIENTS DID NOT SHOW an increase in postoperative surgical site infections when the brushless scrubbing product was used. • SATISFACTION AND COMPLIANCE among users of the product was positive.
