title: Effects of chlorine solutions on footwear.
abstract: Operating theatre personnel need to disinfect floors, other surfaces and sometimes their footwear with chlorine solutions in order to comply with Department of Health (DH) guidance on the safe method of dealing with blood spills. This study was designed to determine the effect of repeated applications of chlorine solutions to a new theatre clog manufactured from high density polyurethane.
