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 93.6% –Overall 93.6% rated MedMat ® as better or much better than current practice –Isolation of Waste91.5% better or much better –Fluid absorbency75.6% better or much better –Maintains a sterile field93.6% better or much better –Good Practice93.6% better or much better –Procedure time23.9% better or much better –Fit for purpose72.3% better or much better
