Barrier Control

PictureBarrier Film


Full barrier control in all rooms ensures everything we use; that you may come into contact with, is properly covered to prevent cross contamination.
Avoiding contact with bodily fluids can be done through the means of nonporous articles worn by the tattoo artist, as well as covering furniture, equipment, and tools with a  plastic film.

Types of barrier control devices used under Universal and Standard Precautions are: 
  • Nonporous covering on all furniture
  • Nonporous flooring     
  • Nonporous working surface 
  • Protective sheath covering tools and bottles (to be disposed of following procedure)

Blood Born Pathogens

There are a few basic infection control practices that help reduce cross-contamination: 
  • Disinfect surfaces that may have been in contact with blood or other body fluids (client).
  • Changing your gloves after having contact with a client or a contaminated surface/item, or if you have to get up and leave the room for any reason.
  • Using the proper P.P.E. (Personal Protection Equipment) to protect yourself and your client.
Certain blood borne viruses can live for days outside the body and cause infection. Hepatitis B virus can live in dried blood for up to a week, while the Hepatitis C virus can survive for up to four days. Work surfaces that become contaminated with blood or other body fluids can expose you to a blood borne disease through cross-contamination. Cross-contamination is the spread of germs from one surface to another by contact. When applying universal precautions; blood and other body fluids are considered potentially infectious for HIV, HBV, and other blood borne pathogens. 

There are a few basic infection control practices that help reduce cross-contamination: 
  • Disinfect surfaces that may have been in contact with blood or other body fluids (client).
  • Changing your gloves after having contact with a client or a contaminated surface/item, or if you have to get up and leave the room for any reason.
  • Using the proper P.P.E. (Personal Protection Equipment) to protect yourself and your client.
