▼a Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) are the cause of substantial pain and emotional stress. On any given day, 1 in every 25 patients in the US has an HAI. This has serious economic ramifications. Although the incidence of HAIs has been reduced |

▼a The presented work is among the first objectively investigating how package design and provider technique impact the sterile transfer of medical devices. Specific research goals were: 1. To evaluate how package design features (inward curl, outw |

▼a To explore goals 1, 2 and 4, a total of 136 healthcare providers were asked to present devices to a simulated sterile field. Participants' gloved hands and the outside of test pouches were coated with a contamination simulant and participants we |

▼a Results indicated significant main effects of pouch design (p<0.001) and aseptic technique (P=0.0189) on rates of contact with non-sterile surfaces. Pouches designed to curl outward resulted in less contact than all other designs, this was true |

▼a In support of goal 4, two geometries were created using a novel prototyping method we developed (goal 3-described within): one geometry represented a chevron pouch while the second was a rounded shape. Each of the two base geometries was modifie |
