EDANA称无纺布可以预防医疗感染

Nonwoven products help avoid healthcare infections: EDANA
EDANA, an association serving nonwovens and related industries, unveiled an infographic, which highlights the human and financial impact that healthcare associated infections (HAIs) have in the European Union alone.
According to figures from WHO, ECDC and other agencies, HAIs affect more than 4 million patients, and are directly responsible for 37,000 deaths in Europe every year. In addition, patients with a surgical site infection spend an average 6.5 days in hospital, and are more than 5 times likely to die.
This rate of infection not only causes a huge impact on the patient, but has a significant impact on the treating physician and hospitals, costing them more than €5.4 billion every year, and resulting in a financial loss of €7 billion in direct costs.
“Single-use gowns, drapes and other nonwoven products for operating rooms are an effective barrier protection solution, and are essential to the prevention of infections,” says Abby Bailey, marketing director at EDANA.
She adds, “Nonwoven surgical products offer every patient a new, secure, unused and sterile material, giving hospitals full compliance with the EN13795 standard for gowns and drapes.”
EDANA provides a comprehensive range of services and supplies its members with the information and data necessary for them to enhance the industry goals and performance.
Set up in 1971, as the European Disposables and Nonwovens Association, EDANA has grown and evolved, to become today a modern industry association with a European focus and global influence and profile, reflecting the changing dynamics of the nonwovens industry.

EDANA称无纺布可以预防医疗感染
欧洲非织造布协会（EDANA）作为非织造布及相关行业的一个协会组织，列出了一张图表，凸显了欧盟在医疗机构相关感染（HAIs）方面的问题。
根据世界卫生组织、ECDC和其他机构提供的数据显示，欧洲每年医疗机构相关感染人数超过400万名患者，其中直接造成37000人死亡。此外，患者在医院手术部位感染住院时间平均延长6.5天，死亡的可能性超过5倍。
这种感染速度不仅对病人造成巨大的影响，同时亦对治疗医生和医院产生重大影响。其每年花费超过54亿欧元，导致每年经济损失达70亿欧元。
欧洲非织造布协会营销总监艾比贝利说：“手术室提供一次性用品、窗帘和其他无纺布产品是一个有效的解决方案，对预防感染至关重要。”
她补充说：“为每个病人提供新的、安全的、未使用和无菌材料的无纺布外科产品，给医院提供符合EN13795标准的用品至关重要。”
欧洲非织造布协会向其成员提供全方位的服务和必要的信息及数据，旨在提高产业目标和性能。
欧洲非织造布协会成立于1971年，作为欧洲一次性用品和非织造布协会，是一家服务于非织造材料及其相关产业的国际性协会，总部位于欧洲，主要业务集中在欧洲、中东和非洲地区。旨在反映非织造布工业的变化动态。
