Hygiene and Covid-19

Hygiene and Covid-19

The importance of hygiene in wound care

Bacteria are often transferred from one host to another, usually through contact with humans, resources or environmental factors. We understand that applying general preventive measures reduces the risk of transmitting the micro-organism. That is why it is essential for us that hygienic aspects are applied at the right time and in the correct way, before, during and after the provision of wound care.

These hygienic appointments are part of the work routine for the wound care providers of ARA Wond & Zorg.


  • Applying the correct hygienic interventions in all activities
  • The use of clean / sterile instruments
  • Wearing personal protective equipment
  • The use of instruments or materials that can be properly cleaned, disinfected or sterilized
  • Promoting hygiene in the work area and disposal of medical waste

Covid-19 and wound care

ARA Wond en Zorg has taken precautionary measures to limit the spread of the Coronavirus for our clients and also employees. We work carefully according to the protocols of RIVM and the national government.

These precautions are part of our work routine for the wound care providers of ARA Wond en Zorg.


  • We wear a medical face mask and do not shake hands when entering your house, but greet you with smiling eyes.
  • At each visit, only one wound care provider will visit you who is in possession of sufficient personal protective equipment such as medical face masks, apron, face shields, gloves and shoe covers.
  • Please let us know if you have visitors, then we will arrange an another appointment with you. The fewer people in your home, the safer for everyone.
  • We leave a wound box at your home, equipped with all hygienic supplies for wound care.
  • Our wound specialist carries a wound bag that is regularly disinfected.
  • If you are infected with Coronavirus or another virus or bacteria (BRMO, MRSA, NORO, etc.,) we would like to hear this, we will take extra measures in the care of your wound.
