PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.9K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Textile Science
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Wearable pneumatic textiles show promise for healthcare, aiding in injury prevention and treatment.
  • Existing wearables struggle with uncontrolled expansion, poor fit on body contours, and inconsistent pressure gradients.
  • These limitations hinder their effectiveness in medical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel Pneumatic Pressure-Regulating Knitted Fabric (PPKF) that overcomes the limitations of current pneumatic healthcare wearables.
  • To achieve controllable pressure modulation and enhanced conformability for medical applications.

Main Methods:

  • A knitted pneumatic circuit was designed, integrating an ultralow-expansion pneumatic fiber within a dual-channel structure.
  • The PPKF's design allows for strategic modulation of channel spacing to control pressure delivery.
  • Performance was evaluated based on pressure adjustability, gradient compression ratios, breathability, fit, and deformation.

Main Results:

  • The developed PPKF demonstrated ultralow radial expansion (≤ 1.41%) enabling controlled contractile deformation.
  • Adjustable pressures ranging from 3-32 kPa and clinically relevant gradient compression ratios were achieved.
  • PPKF garments exhibited superior wearability, including high breathability (949.56 mm/s), excellent fit, and minimal deformation (≤ 5.2%).

Conclusions:

  • The PPKF offers a new design paradigm for pressure-regulating knitted textiles with enhanced wearability and multifunctionality.
  • Its ability to provide controlled pressure gradients and superior fit makes it suitable for medical rehabilitation, aerospace, and athletic protection.
  • This technology presents substantial implementation potential across various demanding applications.
