Sterilization Procedures of Surgical Instruments

1. Management System of Surgical Instruments

 Surgical instruments must be sterilized one by one, by high-pressure steam or by high-efficiency chemical sterilization.Check whether the joints of the surgical instruments are sharp and whether the forceps and tweezers are closed regularly.The surgical instruments must be thoroughly cleaned, packaged and sent to sterilization after used. Sterile items must be stored in sterile area counters. The room should be ventilated, dry, clean, dust-free and sundry.Surgical instruments should not be soaked and disinfected with disinfectant as far as possible. If highly effective disinfectant is used, the quality, concentration and soaking time of disinfectant should be guaranteed. The joint of forceps should be opened during soaking.

2. Sterilization of Surgical Instruments

The used surgical instruments should be cleaned of blood stains in the instruments with clean water first.Kick out the suture needle and surgical blade and throw them away without cleaning.If found not close, there are problems with the equipment removed in time, the qualified equipment will be classified.
 　　
 Sterilization method: high-pressure steam sterilization method is the most widely used, the effect is reliable.High pressure steam sterilizer can be divided into two categories: lower exhaust type and pre-vacuum type.The latter sterilization time is short, the need for sterilization of the goods slightly harmful, but expensive, not throughout the use.The current widely used in China is the lower exhaust sterilizer, sterilization time is longer.
 　
 Disinfection method: soaking disinfection with liquid medicine.Sharp instruments, endoscopy and other instruments are not suitable for thermal sterilization, can be soaked in chemical liquid disinfection.
　　
Attention: (1) before soaking, to wipe the oil on the device;(2) to disinfect the goods is necessary to immerse all in the solution;(3) the shaft section of the device (such as scissors), the shaft section should be opened;The surface of the tube and bottle should be soaked in disinfectant;(4) before use, need to use sterilized salt water to wash the liquid medicine clean, to avoid the arrangement by the harm of the liquid medicine.

Effect of Electron Beam I Irradiation on Breaking Strength of Medical Disposable Protective Clothing Material

  Abstract: Disinfection or sterilization is an important part of the production process of medical disposable protective clothing (referred to as medical protective clothing). Compared with ethylene oxide sterilization method, irradiation is faster and more efficient. Since medical protective clothing has strict requirements in terms of protection performance，the radiation effect of its materials has important research significance. The electron beam accelerator was used to treat three kinds of medical  protective clothing  materials polypropylene (PP), polyester fiber (PET) and Tyvek with different absorbed doses. Then the samples were subjected to aging tests for different time. The main performance indicators related to radiation effect in GB 19082-2009 were tested. Test results show that the performances of the three kinds of medical  protective gown  such as resistance to water penetration, resistance to synthetic blood penetration, and filtration efficien...

Design And Nursing Application of Disposable Medical Surgery Sterile Operation Package

  Abstract: Preoperative time-out verification is an important procedure for surgical safety verification. In order to improve the implementation rate and satisfaction of medical and nursing Time-out surgical safety verification, this study designed a disposable medical surgical sterile surgical kit. The time-out indicator label is added to the incision site of the  surgical gown , which meets the use requirements of the time-out confirmation in the operating room. Compared with the old  surgical package , surgeons and nurses have significantly improved the implementation rate and satisfaction of Time-out surgical safety verification (P<0.05). The implementation rate of Time-out surgery safety verification in the new surgical kit group was 100.0%, which was significantly higher than the 70.0% in the old surgical kit group (t=11.863, P=0.001<0.05); the satisfaction of the surgeons and nurses in the new  surgical kit  group They were 95.3±3.5 and 96.2±3.8, w...

Classification of Surgical Gowns

  Surgical gowns   are a type of   isolation clothing  worn for protection from pathogens during surgery. They provide an extra layer of cleanliness and hygiene to the surgical team, which is especially important in the hospital setting where more than one patient may be undergoing surgery at any given time. The first step to choosing a   surgical gown   for your practice is determining what fabric you prefer: cotton or synthetic? Cotton offers superior comfort and breathability but can wear out quicker than some synthetics; whereas synthetic fabrics offer more durability but a less natural feel. Synthetic fabrics also tend to cost less on average than cotton ones do – so it’s really up to you! These fabrics have large pores through which microorganisms can easily flow, resulting in poor barrier qualities. Closely woven textiles should be combined with polyester and long-staple cotton and treated with liquid-repellent fluorocarbons to improve the barrier qu...
