Medical protective consumbles refers to various types of supplies used to protect medical staff, patients and other personnel from various dangerous factors in the medical environment, mainly including the following categories:
Protective Clothing
Medical Protective Suit: Made of special materials, it has good waterproof, breathable, impermeable and antibacterial properties, can effectively block microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria, as well as pollutants such as blood and body fluids, and protect the bodies of medical staff from infection. Commonly used in high-risk environments such as infectious disease isolation wards and operating rooms.
Isolation Gown: Generally used in ordinary medical environments, the requirements for isolation effects are relatively low, but it can play a certain barrier role to prevent cross-infection between medical staff and patients, and can also be used to protect patients from being polluted by the surrounding environment.
Surgical Gown: Mainly used in operating rooms, providing protection for surgeons and nurses, with higher sterility requirements and protective properties, can prevent blood and body fluid splashing during surgery, and ensure a sterile environment in the surgical area.
Protective Masks
Medical Protective Masks: can filter particles in the air, block droplets, blood, body fluids, secretions, etc., and the filtration efficiency of non-oily particles reaches more than 95%. For example, N95 masks are often used to protect against respiratory infectious diseases and can effectively protect the wearer from viruses and bacteria in the air.
Medical Surgical Masks: have good filtering, barrier and comfort, can effectively filter bacteria and some viruses, block the spread of droplets, suitable for general medical operations, such as outpatient clinics, ward rounds, etc., and are the main type of masks used by medical staff on a daily basis.
Ordinary Medical Masks: have a relatively low level of protection, mainly used for daily protection in ordinary medical environments, can filter certain dust and droplets, and provide basic respiratory protection for the wearer.
Protective Gloves
Medical Latex Gloves: Made of natural latex, they have good elasticity and flexibility, can fit the hands tightly, provide a comfortable wearing feeling, and have good waterproof and anti-permeability properties, which can effectively prevent the hands of medical staff from contacting the patient's blood, body fluids and other pollutants. They are often used in various medical operations, such as examination, nursing, surgery, etc.
Nitrile Gloves: Made of nitrile rubber, they have the characteristics of chemical resistance, puncture resistance and low allergenicity. They are suitable for people who are allergic to latex and are widely used in medical environments. Especially when contacting chemicals and performing some operations that may involve sharp instruments, nitrile gloves can provide better protection.
PVC Gloves: Made of polyvinyl chloride material, they are relatively cheap and have certain protective properties. They are often used in some medical operations that do not require particularly high protection, such as ordinary nursing work, sanitation and cleaning, etc.
Other Protective Consumables
Protective Glasses: can protect the eyes from splashes of droplets, blood, body fluids, chemicals, etc., and prevent eye infection or damage. They are often used in operating rooms, dentistry, emergency departments and other departments where liquid splashes are prone to occur.
Protective Masks: can fully cover the face, provide protection for the eyes, nose and mouth, and can effectively block splashing liquids and particles in the air. They are suitable for high-risk operations such as endotracheal intubation, bronchoscopy, etc., which may generate a large number of droplets and aerosols.
Shoe Covers: mostly made of plastic or non-woven fabrics, worn outside shoes to prevent medical staff from getting polluted shoes when walking in the medical environment, avoid taking pollutants out of a specific area, and protect shoes from being contaminated.
Medical Caps: including disposable non-woven caps and cloth caps, etc., mainly prevent dust and dandruff on the hair from falling into the medical operation area, maintain a clean environment, and protect medical staff's hair from contamination.
Protective Hood: Provide comprehensive protection for the heads of medical staff or other relevant personnel to prevent the heads from being invaded by various harmful substances. It can effectively block droplets, aerosols, dust, etc., prevent these substances from contacting the head skin, hair and respiratory tract, etc., and reduce the risk of infection.
