Single-Use Markers: The New Gloves?

Single-Use Markers: The New Gloves?

Imagine watching your practitioner reusing gloves between patients. You wouldn’t stand for it — and neither would they. But strangely, we still accept reused marking tools as part of our day-to-day workflow.

It’s time that changed.

Single-use, pre-sterilised skin markers like Skrybe’s FMD1 represent more than hygiene. They signal intent. When a patient sees you unwrap a fresh tool — just as you would with gloves or syringes — they feel reassured. They feel seen. And more importantly, they feel safe.

Just as gloves became non-negotiable decades ago, single-use markers are on the same path. Infection control protocols in aesthetics are only getting tighter. Patients are more informed. Cross-contamination isn’t just a regulatory risk — it’s a reputational one. And as we move toward higher standards of aseptic technique, every detail counts.

Markers were the last holdout. They were the final tool to escape scrutiny. But that’s no longer viable. Whether it’s traces of blood on gloves transferring to a shared pencil or inconsistent hygiene practices between staff, it’s an obvious blind spot in many clinics — and it’s time we closed it.

Skrybe’s FMD1 has become the go-to for forward-thinking practitioners not because of novelty — but because it quietly fixes a gaping hole in everyday clinical safety.

Hygiene first isn’t just a slogan. It’s a movement. And it starts with the smallest of changes.
