Combined application of medical packaging materials in supply room

Medical packaging materials should have a good sterile barrier function to maintain the sterile state of the device. According to the actual work needs of clinical departments, under the premise of ensuring the quality, the appropriate packaging materials for the medical devices to be selected. All kinds of packaging materials have advantages and disadvantages, according to the use of medical equipment turnover rate, learn from each other, reasonable application, not only can reduce medical costs, but also can improve work efficiency, reduce the occurrence of hospital infection.

1. Materials and Methods 1.1 Packaging materials

Cotton cloth can be reused after washing double layer cotton cloth, moisture resistance is unstable, poor resistance to bacteria, valid for 7 to 14 days. Should be a use a clean, no stains, in the cold light table check no damage can be used.

Medical crepe paper is a unique barrier formed by disordered arrangement of wood pulp fibers, which has certain water resistance ability. The results of bacterial osmotic filtration experiment on wrinkled paper show that the bacterial osmotic filtration rate of wrinkled paper is 98.2. Valid for up to 6 months, with a certain degree of softness, hard will form creases, resulting in bacterial channels.

Paper plastic bag is composed of plane dialysis paper and compound plastic film, high resistance to bacteria, high heat resistance, good transparency, can be cut according to the length of need, easy to operate, clear, valid for 6 months.

Non-woven FABRIC FOR MEDICAL PACKAGING is suitable for damp heat, low temperature plasma, static resistance to bacteria, high strength, strong bearing capacity, valid for 6 months.

1.2 Packaging Method

Quick turnover medical supplies are packed in double - layer cotton after washing. It is suitable for all kinds of large instrument sets, catheterization sets with high usage rate, suture removal sets and so on. The tape length should be appropriate to the volume and weight of the package. The 3M tape adopts double strip sealing.

For the medical supplies with slow turnover and long period of life, non-woven fabrics with medical packaging are used, which are suitable for various large surgical instrument sets and heavy dressing sets, etc., and are packed twice in closed packaging. For the larger packaging, 3M adhesive tape is wrapped in well shape or cross shape.

For low-use or specialized medical supplies, double-layer medical wrinkly paper is used, such as tracheotomy kit,. Kidney fistula package, etc. To ensure the integrity of the package, open the shaft and wrap the double edge with gauze, then wrap the double edge with medical crepe paper according to closed packaging twice, and fix the package with 3M tape double strip sealing.

Gauze, mouth opener, ophthalmic instruments and other precision small instruments need small packaging or separate packaging of medical supplies, suitable for paper-plastic bags, sharp instrument guard protection, sealing package should be not less than 150px width of the hot sealing area of the sealer, the device inside the package should be not less than 2.125px from the bag seal. After heat sealing, observe whether the packaging seal is flat, the tightness and continuity of pressure sealing, and attach the 3M pressure steam indicating label to the plastic surface. All packaging labels should be traceable.

2. Load items as required with management to ensure steam penetration. Cotton bag, textile bag should be placed on the upper shelf, the edge of vertical display. Wrinkly paper and paper-plastic bag packaging should be placed on the upper side of the aseptic shelf, which is conducive to steam entry and cold air discharge. Attention should be paid to the paper facing the plastic surface when placing the paper-plastic bag. After correct unloading, after quality confirmation, the package is stored in the asepsis room, managed by special personnel, and issued in order.

3, monitoring weekly random inspection of cloth packaging, non-woven fabric and paper plastic bags, wrinkled paper packaging items, cotton packaging 1 week biological monitoring is qualified, medical non-woven fabric, medical wrinkled paper, paper plastic bag packaging 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 months biological monitoring are qualified.

Cotton packaging is widely used in clinical, can be recycled, low consumables, relatively cost saving, wear resistance, prick resistance, mechanical strength, but poor resistance to bacteria, short validity period. Medical non-woven packaging, good antibacterial effect, long period of validity, soft material, a certain degree of toughness, good load-bearing performance, but the price is high. Medical wrinkle paper packaging, strong antibacterial effect, long validity period, beautiful packaging, reduce repeated consumption and equipment loss, save manpower, but the packaging is easy to damage, should be handled with care. The PAPER PLASTIC BAG packaging can simplify the operation strength, good visibility, strong resistance to bacteria, long period of validity, convenient and accurate access, effectively prevent the occurrence of cross infection, especially suitable for the stomatology, ophthalmology, single diagnosis and treatment instrument packaging, but can not be used for the surgical instrument packaging. The combination and application of various medical packaging materials, complementary advantages, make hospital infection management more scientific, standardized, and safe and economic, reduce the cost of disinfection, practical strong, obtained a good evaluation of clinical departments.
