Hospital-acquired infections remain a serious problem in modern medicine. About a quarter of these cases are postoperative infections, which impact patient recovery times and can increase the risk of mortality. One of the key factors in prevention is proper preparation and isolation of the surgical site.

What is antimicrobial film?

Antimicrobial sterile film with povidone-iodine is a medical device for isolating and protecting the surgical site before and during surgical procedures. Its purpose is to prevent secondary infection of a wound, incision, or puncture, and to protect the skin around them.

How it works

The active ingredient, povidone-iodine, combines iodine and the synthetic polymer povidone. This compound has the following properties:

• antimicrobial action: effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including those resistant to antibacterial drugs;
• speed of action: destroys microorganisms within a minute;
• anti-inflammatory activity: helps reduce the body's inflammatory response in the surgical area.

Main functions of the film

The product performs several important functions during surgery:

1. Isolation of the surgical field - creates a barrier that prevents microorganisms from entering the wound.
2. Prevention of pathogen migration - limits the spread of potentially dangerous microorganisms.
3. Reliable Fixation — ensures secure attachment of the lining material.
4. Mechanical protection — the non-woven base prevents lint and fibers from entering the wound.

5. Versatility — can be used:

• during surgeries to protect the surgical field;
• during the placement of catheters, drains, and external fixation devices;
• as additional skin protection for medical personnel if gloves are damaged.

Advantages Uses

The use of antimicrobial film allows for the following results:

• reduce the risk of nosocomial infections;
• reduce the likelihood of allergic reactions to dressings;
• shorten patient rehabilitation time by preventing complications;
• optimize treatment costs by preventing postoperative infections.

Indications for use

The film is advisable to use in the following cases:

• before surgery to prepare and isolate the surgical field;
• during lengthy surgeries when reliable fixation and protection are important;
• during procedures with a high risk of infection (insertion of catheters, drains, etc.) d.);
• in situations requiring additional skin protection for medical personnel.

Instructions for Use

How to use the film:

1. Open the individual packaging and unfold the film.
2. Wash and disinfect the skin where the film will be applied.
3. Apply the film to the surgical site, gradually removing the protective covering.
4. Press the film firmly to the skin to ensure a secure fit.
5. Remove the film after completing the surgical procedure according to hospital protocol.

Thus, the antimicrobial sterile film with povidone-iodine is an effective means of preventing hospital-acquired infections. Its use meets modern requirements for the safety of surgical interventions and helps improve patient outcomes.
