Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is continuous ongoing search of new materials and technology to fulfil the changing demands and requirements of users in the field of medical textiles. In the recent years, there has been growing need for developing finishes which can offer improved protection from UV and microorganisms. Modern performance textiles with all such properties are required in many applications in the field of medical textiles and one such area is textiles for healthcare and hygiene. This book is based on a study that is aimed to treat medical grade cotton fabrics with speciality finishes namely ZnO nano-finish with different binders and fluorocarbon based fluid repellent finish involving process optimization for imparting functional properties such as antibacterial and fluid repellency and to use these treated fabrics for design and developing healthcare and hygiene apparel. The first phase of this research work comprised of survey carried out in manufacturing companies in order to find out the details of fabrics and finishes being used for healthcare apparel which included doctors coat, gowns, etc. The second phase of the research work comprised of survey in hospitals to determine the performance satisfaction and to gauge the problems associated with healthcare apparel and requirements expected from users. The third phase of the research work included functional finishing of two types of 100% cotton fabrics (with different weave and GSM) using zinc oxide nanoparticles and fluorocarbon based fluid repellent finish. Metal oxide ZnO nanoparticles were prepared, characterized and applied on fabric samples by pad dry cure method and process parameters such as concentration of nano ZnO and polymeric binders-Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Polyurethane (PU) and Butyl Acrylic (BA) were optimized to render antibacterial properties. The fourth phase of the research work comprised of developing designs of healthcare apparel-doctor's coat, scrub top and surgical gown. The swatches of treated fabrics and developed designs were shown to users for assessing their perception for lustre and hand or feel of treated fabrics and preference for design. The prototypes scrub top with design preferred by the respondents were made and were given for wear trial to four volunteers. The validation of performance characteristics of the prototypes was investigated further through bioburden test. Phase I findings indicated that cotton and cotton blends were largely being used in reusable category for healthcare and hygiene apparel. Also, speciality finishes such as antibacterial and fluid repellent finishes were seldom applied however on customer requirements. From the findings of survey in Phase II, most often, surgeons and OT nurses used reusable gowns. XRD and UV spectroscopy results of Phase III confirmed the formation of ZnO nanoparticles. As per TEM results, the nanoparticles were dumbbell shaped and the PSD results based on number showed that the average size of nanoparticles is 90.5nm. With regards to physical properties, ZnO/PVA+FRF treated samples showed slight increase in GSM, stiffness, improvement in tearing strength and abrasion resistance, with minimal change in tensile strength and decrease in air permeability. The water repellency was better for ZnO/PVA+ FRF treated fabrics than ZnO/PVA and FRF finished fabrics. The oil repellency of ZnO/PVA+FRF finished fabrics was similar to FRF finished fabrics. Further, ZnO/PVA+FRF fabrics retained greater than 95% activity after 50 washes for S. aureus and K. pneumoniae. This research therefore highlights that specialty finishes using nanotechnology can effectively be used for production of value added products in the field of healthcare and hygiene.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second edition of the WHO handbook on the safe, sustainable and affordable management of health-care waste--commonly known as "the Blue Book". The original Blue Book was a comprehensive publication used widely in health-care centers and government agencies to assist in the adoption of national guidance. It also provided support to committed medical directors and managers to make improvements and presented practical information on waste-management techniques for medical staff and waste workers. It has been more than ten years since the first edition of the Blue Book. During the intervening period, the requirements on generators of health-care wastes have evolved and new methods have become available. Consequently, WHO recognized that it was an appropriate time to update the original text. The purpose of the second edition is to expand and update the practical information in the original Blue Book. The new Blue Book is designed to continue to be a source of impartial health-care information and guidance on safe waste-management practices. The editors' intention has been to keep the best of the original publication and supplement it with the latest relevant information. The audience for the Blue Book has expanded. Initially, the publication was intended for those directly involved in the creation and handling of health-care wastes: medical staff, health-care facility directors, ancillary health workers, infection-control officers and waste workers. This is no longer the situation. A wider range of people and organizations now have an active interest in the safe management of health-care wastes: regulators, policy-makers, development organizations, voluntary groups, environmental bodies, environmental health practitioners, advisers, researchers and students. They should also find the new Blue Book of benefit to their activities. Chapters 2 and 3 explain the various types of waste produced from health-care facilities, their typical characteristics and the hazards these wastes pose to patients, staff and the general environment. Chapters 4 and 5 introduce the guiding regulatory principles for developing local or national approaches to tackling health-care waste management and transposing these into practical plans for regions and individual health-care facilities. Specific methods and technologies are described for waste minimization, segregation and treatment of health-care wastes in Chapters 6, 7 and 8. These chapters introduce the basic features of each technology and the operational and environmental characteristics required to be achieved, followed by information on the potential advantages and disadvantages of each system. To reflect concerns about the difficulties of handling health-care wastewaters, Chapter 9 is an expanded chapter with new guidance on the various sources of wastewater and wastewater treatment options for places not connected to central sewerage systems. Further chapters address issues on economics (Chapter 10), occupational safety (Chapter 11), hygiene and infection control (Chapter 12), and staff training and public awareness (Chapter 13). A wider range of information has been incorporated into this edition of the Blue Book, with the addition of two new chapters on health-care waste management in emergencies (Chapter 14) and an overview of the emerging issues of pandemics, drug-resistant pathogens, climate change and technology advances in medical techniques that will have to be accommodated by health-care waste systems in the future (Chapter 15).
