Do elctrologists follow appropriate infection control precautions?
A14: Yes. The Oklahoma State electrology advisory committee, under the Oklahoma State Medical Board, has developed our Oklahoma State Electrology Infection Control Standards. These standards include the sterilization of all electrolysis instruments which may have parenteral contact. The standards are consistent with universal precaution guidelines which include hand-washing and use of disposable gloves for each client. Your Oklahoma electrologist is licensed by the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, and is therefore fully trained and tested in proper sterilization procedures. Electrologists are under the same type of strict sterilization guidelines as all other medical professionals in this state.
