How Does Filtration Remove Airborne Disease From Custom Trays

Custom procedure trays are some of the most important tools being used by doctors and health workers in hospitals and laboratories. They provide convenience in the work place, especially during emergencies. This is why custom procedure trays are commonly seen in operating rooms and emergency rooms. They’re also used in laboratories and diagnostic clinics.

Since custom procedure trays are constantly used in such sensitive areas, they are highly exposed to airborne contaminants that may infect health workers and patients. To ensure that custom procedure trays are free from airborne diseases, they must go through different methods and standards.

There are many ways to prevent and remove airborne diseases from custom procedure trays. One of these is filtration. To better understand how it works; it is important to know that filtration is not only used to filter or remove airborne diseases. Filtration equipment is designed for several purposes and is used not only in hospitals and laboratories, but it also works for industrial uses.

How It Works

It is difficult to understand how filtration can remove airborne diseases without knowing how the filtration equipment works. In this way, it would be much easier to find a relationship between filtration equipment and airborne diseases.

Filtration is a physical and mechanical operation in which fluids and solids are separated the same way liquids and gases are separated. This is done for every mixture using a filter thereby naming it the process filtration.

The concept of a filter is not new to many people. In laboratories and hospitals, filtration works similarly but in a more sophisticated way. Basically, filtration equipment can be designed to filter both liquid and gases.

The simplest example of filtration is a gas mask. Gas masks can filter and prevent moist and airborne particles from entering the nose and the mouth. The same principle applies to filtration equipment designed to remove airborne contaminants from custom procedure trays.

Airborne diseases are tiny little substances that have a solid state. They are not liquids nor gases, but airborne diseases use liquid and gases to be carried and spread. The principle behind filtration is to separate the solids from liquids or from gases. Liquids are also considered solid when separated from air or gases.

Filtration in Hospitals and Laboratories

In hospitals and laboratories, airborne contaminants are prevented with the use of filtration equipment. This works like the air filter inside a car’s engine. The most common use of filtration in hospitals and laboratories is storage rooms.

The process of removing airborne contaminants is done by forcing the air to circulate through filter media. The filter media will screen the moist and air residue to stop them from touching any surface inside a storage room.

Custom procedure trays must be stored in a storage room with proper filtration. It is because the air is not only filtered in but also filtered out. This means that the air that enters the area is filtered. When it passes through filter media, the air inside is forced to flow outside. This process will push airborne contaminants to fly outside the storage room.

Conclusion

Filtration equipment can be compared with air pressure and vacuum cleaners. Air pressure pushes away dirt and dust while vacuum cleaners siphoned them. Filtration equipment can do both. Therefore, it is recommended to use it in order to remove airborne diseases from custom procedure trays. By simply storing custom procedure trays in a storage room with filtration equipment, airborne diseases can be prevented and eliminated.
