Duct tape may help stop infection spread - UPI.com: "A simple roll of duct tape may offer an inexpensive way to help reduce the spread of infections in U.S. hospitals, researchers suggest.
The infection prevention team at the Trinity Medical Center in the Quad Cities on the Iowa/Illinois border say they created a 'Red Box' safe zone -- a 3-foot square of red duct tape extending from the threshold of the door of patients who have infections -- to facilitate communication with patients in isolation or with 'contact precautions.'"
