Porque é que o vestuário de proteção médica é descartável?

Índice

Introdução

In medical settings, there are two main types of clothing worn for protection: reusable workwear, such as lab coats, and disposable medical protective clothing, including disposable surgical gowns and disposable coveralls. While reusable garments can be laundered and reused, medical protective clothing is typically designed for one-time use. But why is this the case?

Material Integrity and Barrier Properties

Repeated sterilization of protective clothing can compromise its barrier properties. Over time, materials may degrade, reducing their effectiveness in preventing the transmission of pathogens. Additionally, the processes involved in laundering and sterilizing these garments incur significant costs, and there is also a risk of infection to workers involved in the cleaning and handling procedures.

Conforto e respirabilidade

Disposable surgical gowns, in particular, are often not as breathable as reusable cotton gowns. Some healthcare professionals in certain regions prefer cotton attire due to its comfort. However, the shedding of cotton fibers can increase the costs associated with ventilation systems and pose a risk of infection to patients.

Considerações ambientais

While the widespread use of disposable protective clothing raises concerns about environmental impact, efforts are underway to explore alternatives. Development of reusable protective clothing that can withstand multiple uses is being investigated. Additionally, there is growing interest in utilizing biodegradable materials for disposable protective clothing, which could mitigate environmental concerns associated with single-use items.

Conclusão

In conclusion, the preference for disposable medical protective clothing stems from considerations of material integrity, cost-effectiveness, and infection control. While challenges exist, ongoing research and innovation aim to address these issues while also considering environmental sustainability.
