Other nonsurgical invasive procedures performed in clinics and procedure rooms include percutaneous skin, breast, and prostate biopsies. Infection preventionists should become well versed in these procedures to support teams in identifying infection prevention opportunities. Breast procedures are at especially high risk for infection because of the reduced vascularity of the breast tissue.Standard infection prevention
practices, including dual-agent skin preps containing alcohol plus CHG or iodine, and rigorous aseptic technique are necessary to minimize this risk.
