The self-contained single use disposable procedure mat may be used for a wide variety of different purposes. Thus, for example, the self-contained single use disposable procedure mat may be used for medical purposes for use during treatment of an ailment on a person's body. The ailment may be any problem on the person's body that needs medical attention requiring the use of the self-contained single use disposable procedure mat and thus, for example, the ailment may be a wound that needs dressing, a dressing that need procedure, a skin ulcer, procedures requiring aseptic techniques, catheter changes, intravenous canulation, or an infected area of skin that needs attention. The self-contained single use disposable procedure mat may alternatively be used for domestic purposes.
Currently known procedures for treating ailments on a person's body such for example as wounds, involve many separate pieces of material and equipment. The procedures are cumbersome and in most cases not aseptic. The procedures may be carried out in hospitals, nursing homes, doctor's surgeries, and in private homes. The deficiencies in the procedures lead to infections acquired and spread during treatment, such for example as the hospital-acquired infection known as MRSA.
In hospitals, nursing homes and surgeries, the treatment of ailments such as wounds often takes place with the person lying on a bed or trolley. If the person has an injury to their hands, then they may often sit in a chair, with the injured hand resting on a trolley. In homes, the person may be in a bed, or on a chair, or on a sofa. Generally, the procedure involves supporting the person or the body part needing attention on a flat surface. Depending upon the type of ailment, the procedure can be messy, and the work surface may become contaminated by fluids containing exudates and particulate matter. Often these contaminants spill over onto a floor or surrounding surface, thus contaminating the bed, trolley or other surface supporting the part of the person needing treatment.
It is an aim of the present invention to reduce the above mentioned problems.
Accordingly, in one non-limiting embodiment of the present invention there is provided a self-contained single use disposable procedure mat comprising a single layer that is non-permeable and absorbent and provides a single layer working area, a waste disposal bag that is formed from the single layer along one side of the mat, sealing means for sealing the waste disposal bag, a mouth in the waste disposal bag that hangs open during use of the mat, and a cut-in portion at each side of the mouth of the waste disposal bag for allowing the entire single layer working area to be placed into the waste disposal bag after use, the waste disposal bag then being able to be sealed with the sealing means and thereby contain the used single layer working area and waste.
The self-contained single use disposable procedure mat of the present invention is able to provide a clean working area. Once the self-contained single use disposable procedure mat has been used, it can safely be disposed of, and the underlying work surface will be clean. The non- permeable absorbent layer is able to absorb fluids but does not allow the fluids to seep through. The self-contained single use disposable procedure mat is thus very advantageous is helping to prevent the spread of infections. The working area may receive a part of a person requiring to be attended to, for example a part of a person requiring treatment. Alternatively, or additionally, the working area may receive surgical instruments and/or procedure trays.
The waste disposal bag may include absorbent material for absorbing any waste that is liquid waste. Any suitable and appropriate absorbent material may be employed.
The self-contained single use disposable procedure mat may be one which is of a size for receiving any part of a person needing treatment.
The sealing means may be an adhesive sealing means. Any sealing means may be employed that is suitable and appropriate for sealing the waste disposal bag after use so that the waste disposal bag contains the waste. The self-contained single use disposable procedure mat may be one in which the layer has side drapes for protection of the surrounding environment, the side drapes being an extension of the working area.
The self-contained single use disposable procedure mat may include fastener means for fastening the mat to a work surface. The fastener means may be positioned on a flap at an edge of the mat opposite an edge of the mat having the waste disposal bag. The flap may be omitted if desired, in which case the fastener means may be positioned at the edge of the mat opposite the edge of the mat having the waste disposal bag. The fastener means is preferably an adhesive fastener means, for example an adhesive strip. Other fastener means may be employed.
The cut-in portions may be formed in various ways. Thus, for example, the cut-in portions may be cut into the mat if the mat is all formed in one piece. Alternatively, the cut-in portion may be formed by not joining the full width of the waste disposal bag to the remainder of the mat if the waste disposal bag is separately formed from the remainder of the mat.
The mat may be made of a viscous absorbent material with a polyethylene backing. Alternatively, the mat may be made of a paper absorbent material with a polyethylene backing. The polyethylene may be replaced by another suitable non-permeable material. Also, other absorbent materials may be used.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows a first self-contained single use disposable procedure mat in use;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the self-contained single use procedure mat as shown in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the self-contained single use disposable procedure mat as shown in Figure 1 ;
Figure 4 is a top plan view like Figure 3 but shows a waste disposal bag forming part of the self-contained single use disposable procedure mat in a flat condition rather than in a hanging condition as shown in Figure 1 - 3;
Figure 5 is a perspective view of part of the self-contained single use disposable procedure mat shown in Figure 1 - 4;
Figure 6 is an enlarged view of a portion of the part of the self- contained single use disposable procedure mat shown in Figure 5; and
Figure 7 shows a second self-contained single use disposable procedure mat.
Referring to Figures 1 - 6, there is shown a first self-contained single use disposable procedure mat 2 that is one piece, and is made of a viscose absorbent material with a polyethylene backing. The mat 2 comprises a single layer 4 that is non-permeable and absorbent. The layer 4 provides a single layer working area 6 on which a part of a person is able to be attended to.
The mat 2 also comprises a waste disposal bag 8 that hangs down when the mat 2 is used on a work surface 10. As can be seen from Figure 1 , the work surface 10 is the top of a table 12. As can also be seen from Figure 1 , the waste disposal bag 8 is formed from the single layer 4 along one side 14 of the mat 2. The waste disposal bag 8 hangs open at its mouth 16 during use. The waste disposal bag 8 is thus ready for receiving waste produced during use of the mat 2. The mat 2 also comprises sealing means 18 for sealing the waste disposal bag 8 after use, and thereby containing the waste.
The mat 2 includes a cut-in portion 20 at each side of the mouth 16. The cut-in portions 20 facilitate the placing of the working area 6 into the waste disposal bag 8. The cut-in portions 20 form an unattached portion on either side of the waste disposal bag 8, allowing the full working area 6 easily to be placed into the waste disposal bag 8 after use of the mat 2. As can best be seen from Figure 5, the distance between the cut-in portions 20 is less than the distance between the sides of the waste disposal bag 8. The cut-in portions 20 may be of any suitable length, for example 1 inch (2.540 cm).
The waste disposal bag 8 optionally includes absorbent material for absorbing any waste which is liquid waste.
The mat 2 is of a size for receiving any part of a person needing treatment.
The sealing means 18 is an adhesive sealing means 18. Other types of sealing means may be employed if desired. The sealing means 18 has been shown inside the waste disposal bag 8 but an adhesive sealing means outside the waste disposal bag 8 may be employed if desired, for example in the form of one or more transversely extending adhesive strips.
The mat 2 includes fastener means 22 for fastening the mat 2 to the work surface 10. The fastener means 22 is in the form of an adhesive strip which is positioned on a flap 24 at an edge 26 of the mat 2 opposite the edge 14 having the waste disposal bag 8.
During use of the mat 2, any waste material such for example as wipes or wrappings can be placed in the waste disposal bag 8, with the waste disposal bag 8 being sealed by the sealing means 18 at the end of the treatment procedure. The open mouth 16 of the waste disposal bag 8 allows easy access to the waste disposal bag 8 so that the waste disposal bag 8 can contain any waste in the form of fluids that might be flowing over the mat 2 during use. The absorbent material of the working area 6 and also the absorbent material in the waste disposal bag 8 help to contain any such fluids. The adhesive sealing means 18 may be protected prior to use with a peel-off release layer, for example a peel-off silicone release layer. The fastener means 22 may also be protected prior to use with a peel-off release layer, for example a peel-off silicon release layer.
Figure 7 shows a second self-contained single use disposable procedure mat 28 in which similar parts to the mat 2 have been given the same reference numerals for ease of comparison and understanding. In the mat 28, the flap 24 has been omitted.
The mats 2 and 28 can be used for a wide variety of purposes. Thus, for example, the mats 2 and 28 can be used for medical purposes such as the treatment of wounds. Alternatively or additionally, the mats 2 and 28 may receive surgical instruments and/or procedure trays. The self-contained single use disposable procedure mat of the present invention forms a barrier to contamination. It is to be appreciated that the embodiments of the invention described above with reference to the accompanying drawings have been given by way of example only and that modifications may be effected. Thus, for example, the self-contained single use disposable procedure mat of the present invention may be of any desired shape, for example rectangular or square. The layer 4 may have a side drape for protecting the surrounding environment. The mat 2 may alternatively be made of other materials, for example a paper absorbent material with a polyethylene backing.
