Pulse Oximeter: Essential Things to Know
July 19,2021
According to studies and reports over the past decade, it has been shown that within the medical sector, the use of disposable products has increased greatly and all of them also highlight the substantial benefits of single-use items. But we are by no means a ‘throw-away’ society where we believe it is better to purchase a new printer rather than replace the ink cartridges. At least in the medical sector, these benefits that disposable products offer outweigh the advantages of other products. Some of the noted advantages are:
• Reduction of Infection: The use of surgical gowns, gloves, probe covers, drapes etc vastly reduce the potential of infection.
• Time Effective: Disposable items eliminate the time-consuming process of washing, checking, sometimes rewashing, bleaching and ironing of multi-use products.
• Appearance: The products because they can only be used once and therefore have the right sterile and hygienic impression to the patient.
• Environmental Benefits: The fact that the products are disposable means that they are causing no harm to the environment
