Ambulances / SAMU: managing infectious risk in emergency interventions

Ambulances, emergency vehicles, and SAMU teams intervene in emergency situations where the patient's infectious status is often unknown. In this mobile, confined, and high-turnover environment, preventing infectious risk is essential to protect patients, caregivers, and emergency teams.

Care provided in an ambulance may involve contact with blood, body fluids, mucous membranes, or skin. Stretchers, handles, work surfaces, seats, medical devices, monitoring equipment, onboard terminals, and electronic equipment can become high-risk surfaces if they are not disinfected between patient transfers.

Rapid, regular, and appropriate disinfection helps limit the cross-transmission of infectious agents, particularly viruses, bacteria, and microorganisms present in the pre-hospital care environment.

THX Medical supports ambulance, medical transport, and SAMU teams with ready-to-use disinfection solutions, adapted to field constraints and rapid interventions.

We recommend EXAWIPES O for the rapid disinfection of surfaces, stretchers, non-invasive medical devices, and care equipment, as well as DESCOSEPT SENSITIVE WIPES for tablets, keyboards, screens, onboard terminals, and sensitive electronic equipment.
