Resistance of disposable drapes to bacterial penetration.
PURPOSE To test the bacterial penetrability of disposable non-woven drapes used specifically for total hip arthroplasty. METHODS 12 round agar plates were inoculated with 107 colony-forming units/ml of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) and incubated in air at 37 degrees Celsius for 18 hours to obtain a semi-confluent growth of organisms. Six brands of disposable drapes were tested; each ...
متن کاملThe coarsening of folds in hanging drapes
We consider the elastic energy of a hanging drape – a thin elastic sheet, pulled down by the force of gravity, with fine-scale folding at the top that achieves approximately uniform confinement. This example of energy-driven pattern formation in a thin elastic sheet is of particular interest because the length scale of folding varies with height. We focus on how the minimum elastic energy depen...
متن کاملMesentery-like steri-strip: a scarless drain fixation.
Dear Editors, Recently in your journal an interesting trick in steri-strips application was suggested by D’Ettorre et al. (1), we would like to draw the readers’ attention to a further potential use of this common dressing. In fact, suction drains are usually secured by looping suture material around the drain in the form of a ‘Roman garter’. However, the knot is prone to loosening, which allow...
متن کاملDo oxygen-enriched atmospheres exist beneath surgical drapes and contribute to fire hazard potential in the operating room?
The purposes of this study were to (1) describe the microenvironment in terms of oxygen concentration beneath the drapes of healthy subjects who were simulating patients undergoing minor surgical procedures with supplemental oxygen and to (2) evaluate the efficacy of using a scavenger system beneath the drapes. A convenience sample of 12 healthy volunteer subjects was studied in an ambulatory s...
متن کاملPOTENTLAL APPLICATIOX OF NEURAL NETWORKS TO HAZARDOUS \ i ' ASTE PROCESSING
The concept of neural networks has increasingly gained the attention of scientists and engineers from diverse disciplines in recent years. Conventionally, a neural network comprises an ensemble of interconnected processing units (artificial neurons) with modifiable connection strength between any two units. Through appropriate learning rules, the neural network can be trained to perform tasks t...
