Nursing foot care visits will be thorough and comprehensive using only steam sterilized tools by autoclave per IPAC (Infection Prevention and Control), Public Health best practice guidelines and CSA standards. Tools are packaged individually and opened in the front of you, during the visit, to guarantee your foot care tools have only been used for your visit.
During the visit the feet will be cleansed with an alcohol based cleanser and an antiseptic wipe. Soaking of the feet is discouraged, and against best practice guidelines for foot care nurses, as either the foot basin could cause infection or there could be self infection from the bacteria on your own feet. Soaking can also cause drying of the skin.
