Abstract: Virtual reality devices are increasingly being utilized within operating theaters and intensive care units where appropriate sanitation is vital to ensure that patients do not unnecessarily acquire hospital‐associated infections. The morphology of VR devices in conjunction with the variety of materials and internal components provides challenges to their repurposing. This study aimed to evaluate the microorganisms remaining on VR headsets following sanitation by laboratory staff in a medical education anatomy teaching facility.
