Medical hygiene and protection
Hygiene and medical protection equipment are essential to guarantee a clean and safe working environment.
They include all the products used to protect the professional, the patient and the equipment, while complying with the current health requirements.
Hand hygiene and disinfection
Hygiene is primarily ensured through cleaning and disinfection:
- Hydroalcoholic gels
- Soaps and antiseptic solutions
- Disinfectant wipes and sprays
These products help reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses, ensuring rapid disinfection of hands and surfaces.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Protective equipment is essential to prevent contamination risks:
- Gloves (nitrile, latex, vinyl)
- Protective masks (surgical, FFP2)
- Blouses, hairnets, overshoes
These solutions create a barrier between the professional and infectious agents, and are used daily in medical offices.
Surface and Equipment Protection
To ensure a clean environment, it is necessary to protect the surfaces :
- Single-use examination sheets
- Protective films
- Absorbent pads and protectors
This equipment helps to limit cross-contamination and facilitate cleaning between each patient.
Waste organisation and management
Hygiene in medical settings also includes rigorous waste management :
- Suitable containers (DASRI)
- Single-use products
- Sorting and disposal protocols
Good waste management helps maintain a safe care environment that complies with health standards.
A daily use in practice
Hygiene and protection products are used at every stage :
- Before the consultation (preparing the station)
- During care (protection and safety)
- After each patient (disinfection and cleaning)
They are an integral part of the operation of a practice and ensure suitable working conditions.
