This product is a single-use, non-sterile medical textile intended for use in healthcare facilities and care environments. Its primary purposes are to provide patients with temporary coverage, warmth, privacy protection, and a basic isolation barrier.
Detailed Intended Use and Application Scenarios:
-
Patient Warmth and Comfort:
- To cover patients in outpatient clinics, emergency departments, hospital wards, or surgical waiting areas to prevent body heat loss, particularly when patients are wearing gowns or have parts of their body exposed.
- To provide lightweight warmth during patient transfers (e.g., from a ward to an examination room).
-
Privacy Protection:
- To drape over non-examined areas of a patient's body during physical examinations, therapeutic procedures (e.g., injections, dressing changes), or while assisting patients with changing clothes, thereby maintaining patient dignity and privacy.
-
Basic Isolation and Protection:
- Protection for the Patient: Placed on surfaces such as examination tables, treatment couches, or surgical transfer trolleys as a single-use barrier to minimize direct skin contact with public healthcare equipment surfaces, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
- Protection for the Environment and Healthcare Workers: When a patient has minor fluid seepage, blood, or contaminants, the blanket can absorb and isolate these substances, protecting bedding, work surfaces, and facilitating quick cleanup and disposal.
- In areas with higher infection control requirements (e.g., isolation ward entrances, fever clinics), it can serve as a temporary surface cover.
-
Specific Clinical Scenarios:
- Outpatient Examinations: Standard covering for gynecological exams, ultrasound, ECG, etc.
- Minor Procedures: Used as a protective layer during minor sterile procedures with relatively lower sterility requirements, such as wound debridement or suturing in outpatient/emergency settings.
- Postpartum and Newborn Care: For drying or swaddling newborns, or providing warmth for postpartum mothers.
- Emergency and Disaster Response: Used in pre-hospital care, outdoor rescue, or disaster relief scenarios for patient coverage and temporary insulation.
