Introduction What is MedMat ® ? MedMat ® provides clinicians with a more appropriate modern device to carry out any procedure requiring a sterile field.

Introduction

• What is MedMat ® ?• MedMat ® provides

clinicians with a more appropriate modern device to carry out any procedure requiring a sterile field

• The unique two layer system is designed to lead a more aseptic approach and provide a barrier to cross infection

Reassuring experience

• Clinical protection– 2 layer system– Enables compliance

with aseptic non touch technique (ANTT)

– Separates the dirty from the clean elements of the process

Patient reassurance

• MedMat ® improves the patient experience by reassuringly containing all the waste created during the procedure and maintaining a clean and tidy environment

A New Standard

• A Consistent approach– With MedMat ® you can recreate the same

clean clinical area for every patient in every setting for every procedure

• Reducing Risk– MedMat ® mitigates the risk of cross

contamination and provides a barrier to infection forming an important addition to your armoury in the battle against HCAI’s

Simple and Effective

• Unique and Easy to use• Ergonomically designed

to simplify and standardise processes

• Encourages good practice

• Leads the clinician through the steps of the procedure

Specification

• Highly Absorbent top layer

• Absorbent bottom layer

• Integrated waste bag for collection of all non sharp clinical waste created during the procedure

• MedMat ® 700 covers a surface equivalent to a standard hospital trolley and is suitable for procedures creating a small to medium quantity of waste

• MedMat ® 1100 covers a surface equivalent to the width and extends to around a third of the length of a standard hospital bed, therefore suitable for patients who are bedbound or having continence difficulties. The large integral waste bag is suitable for procedures creating a medium to large volume of waste

Clinical Evaluation

• MedMat® is a unique new concept

• In total around 500 MedMats® have been used in evaluation by clinicians

• Formal clinical evaluation has been undertaken at Wythenshawe hospital and The Royal London

• Data was captured on 64 procedures looking at 14 different criteria

Criteria

• 6 criteria compared MedMat ® with current practice:– Isolation of Waste– Fluid absorbency– Maintains a sterile field– Good Practice– Procedure time– Fit for purpose

• A scale of 1 to 5 was used to rate MedMat ®

– 1 being much worse than current practice, 5 being much better

– Overall 93.6%93.6% rated MedMat ® as better or much better than current practice

– Isolation of Waste 91.5% better or much better

– Fluid absorbency 75.6% better or much better

– Maintains a sterile field 93.6% better or much better

– Good Practice 93.6% better or much better

– Procedure time 23.9% better or much better

– Fit for purpose 72.3% better or much better
