Products Description
Surgical film (also known as surgical incision protective film, sterile surgical film or medical surgical film), commonly used in surgery. It's' mainly used to cover the skin of the surgical area or directly adhere to the incision to play the role of isolation, protection and auxiliary operation. The following are its specific functions and advantages:
Main functions
1. Isolate bacteria and pollutants
Cover the skin of the surgical area to block sebum, sweat, hair follicle bacteria and other polluted incisions, reducing the risk of postoperative infection.
2. Fix surgical instruments and pipelines
The surface of the film can be pasted with surgical towels, electrosurgical wires, drainage tubes and other instruments to avoid slipping and keep the surgical field clean.
3. Maintain a sterile operating environment
Cooperate with sterile drapes to expand the sterile area and reduce contamination caused by instrument contact during surgery.
4. Protect the tissue at the edge of the incision
Cover the skin around the incision to reduce mechanical damage caused by traction or instrument friction.
5. Transparent visibility and breathability
The transparent film facilitates observation of the incision and surrounding skin conditions. Some materials are breathable and moisture-proof, reducing skin immersion.
6. Assisting minimally invasive surgery
In laparoscopic surgery, the film can seal the puncture hole to prevent gas leakage (such as laparoscopic pneumoperitoneum maintenance).
Advantages
1. Reduce infection rate
Effectively isolate skin flora, especially suitable for surgeries with high contamination risks (such as intestinal and orthopedic surgeries).
2. Simplify surgical procedures
Reduce the need for repeated draping, save time, and improve surgical efficiency.
3. Enhance intraoperative stability
Fix instruments and pipelines to avoid interference with operations due to displacement during surgery.
4. Adapt to complex surgical scenarios
Can be cut into different shapes, suitable for irregular parts such as joints and cavities.
5. Reduce postoperative complications
Protect the skin around the incision and reduce postoperative redness, swelling, pressure sores or allergic reactions.
6. Improve patient comfort
Some films contain antibacterial ingredients or hypoallergenic glue to reduce skin irritation and are easier to remove after surgery.
Common types and applicable scenarios
Conventional laparotomy and thoracotomy, used to cover the surgical field.
Iodine-containing antibacterial film: surgery with high risk of infection (such as colon surgery).
Precautions
Contraindications: Use with caution in patients who are allergic to film adhesives, skin damage or inflammation areas.
Key points of operation:
Thoroughly disinfect the skin before applying the film, and flatten it after drying to avoid bubbles.
Avoid sharp objects from scratching the film during surgery, and replace it in time if it is contaminated.
Be gentle when removing, peel it off in the direction of hair growth to reduce skin damage.
Through physical isolation and functional design, surgical films have become an indispensable auxiliary material in modern surgery, playing a key role in ensuring a sterile environment and improving surgical safety and efficiency.
