The use of disposable medical sheets

Today on the Dispotech blog we will be discussing a medical device that is fundamental for both medical clinics and other types of facilities: we are referring to the medical sheet, or rather, the cover (made of paper or other materials, as we will discover together) that is placed over an examination table/seat to ensure maximum hygiene and safety for patients.

What is the purpose of this tool? Can environmentally sustainable medical sheets be used and what are the advantages? We will examine this together thanks to the support of an interesting article read on czcarede.com.

The medical sheet is an essential device for ensuring hygiene and safety when receiving patients in a medical clinic or in situations where contact with surfaces of any kind is possible.

The use of sheets that cover examination tables or seats intended for medical use is very common: undoubtedly you have gone to the doctor and observed that, attached to the examination table, there is always a roll of paper stretched across the length of it. At the end of the visit the piece of paper is thrown away in the waste bin. Paper is an environmentally sustainable material that is easily recycled. Some doctors also use antibacterial sprays to clean examination tables between visits: a habit that increases hygiene.

In addition to paper rolls, medical sheets can be found in other compositions on the market.

The medical sheet by Dispotech, for example, consists of an absorbent ply of cellulose tissue and one of waterproof polyethylene. Being certified as a Class I medical device, our medical sheet is completely waterproof and tear-resistant.

The healthcare industry is certainly the one where medical sheets find their greatest application, but not the only one. These disposable hygienic covers are also used in beauty salons, on massage tables, and in sports centres.

Versatile and resistant, medical sheets are indispensable in many sectors. Their use provides many advantages, but the most important are undoubtedly the following:

• they ensure hygiene and cleanliness for the patient and the setting in which they are used;
• they reduce the risk of contamination to zero;
• they are convenient to use as they are disposable: just throw them in the waste bin and dispose of them properly. This prevents constant cleaning of examination tables/seats/other instruments and saves time.

Our medical sheets are customisable: we can meet your demands on pre-cutting, weight of paper and polyethylene, and on the colour of the paper and polyethylene. If you are interested and would like to have further information, please contact us: the Dispotech team will be happy to assist you.
