Medical protective clothing can block and protect the blood, body fluids, secretions and particles in the air of potentially infectious patients that medical staff come into contact with at work. Medical protective clothing has an effective period, and its protective performance may be degraded if it is kept for too long. The vast majority of medical protective clothing on the market are disposable protective clothing made of non-woven fabrics, which will be discarded after use without disinfection and washing. Before wearing protective clothing, check whether it is damaged or not, and treat it as medical waste after use. If the medical protective clothing is sealed and stored, it is generally valid for 5 years if it is not used, while some manufacturers define that the medical protective clothing is valid for 2 years. Some protective clothing can be reused, but it should be noted that if the protective clothing is damaged, it cannot be used again.
Secondly, how often do you change medical disposable protective clothing? In order to avoid cross-infection, disposable protective clothing can only be used once from the health point of view. Disposable protective clothing is a sanitary product, which can only be used once in principle. Therefore, it is best not to reuse disposable protective clothing. Protective clothing is generally changed every day. Medical conjoined protective clothing is generally changed every 4 hours, depending on the specific environment. If it is biological pollution, it should be changed every time it comes into contact. If it is a ward, it should be decided according to different diseases. If it is wet or polluted, it should be replaced immediately if it is found damaged. And in general, medical disposable protective clothing can’t be disinfected before being used.
