Eurotape, 30 th of May Re-useables in Holland by Han Mulder / Florex
Historic developments in Holland (1) • End of the 70 ties there was a need for water repellend drapes • Development of Clintex • Development of “hyperallergeen”tape
Historic developments in Holland (2) • Looking for co-operation with Rentex Germany • Research for standards in covering patients • After the Clintex the reusable introduced laminates like “Gore”
What did we learn from that time ? • Less attention of systematic covering of the patients • Standarisation of covering • Surgeon is the boss in the operating room • Laundry business is not the same as infection prevention in operating theatre • Steralisation process is critical point
What did we learn and is still present • Do not mix infection prevention with a laundry • Standarisation • Seperate technical support (account management) with sales. • Who’s the decision maker in the OR
Organisation of reusablein Holland • Reusable suppliers:Medifort and Rentex Floron • Suppliers of drapes & gowns:Van Dijk and Sioen
How could disposable win so much market in Holland • Disposable companies fight for market share • Since the EN 13795 it became a commodity • Reuseable suppliers did not choose for Procedure Tray’s • Lack of competition in the field of Reusable • Increase of strength of the purchase department
Future expectations (1) • Procedure trays • Greening the operating room (OR) • Reducing medical waste • Promoting the comfort of Gowns • Promoting & focus on the service on department level
Future expectations (2) • Hospitals need a wide range of articles • A study of OR reusable in combination with medical device supply • International Platform to promote reusable • Cleaning medical instrument (Central Sterilisation Centre) • Particle control
