An International Survey Characterising Surgical Attire and Personal Protective Equipment ( <scp>PPE</scp> ) in Dermatologic and Mohs Surgery

This international survey demonstrates variability in dermatologic surgical PPE, with single-use items remaining widespread despite limited evidence of benefit. Evidence-based standardisation could improve sustainability, reduce costs, and maintain excellent patient outcomes.

Abstract

This international survey demonstrates variability in dermatologic surgical PPE, with single-use items remaining widespread despite limited evidence of benefit. Evidence-based standardisation could improve sustainability, reduce costs, and maintain excellent patient outcomes.
