| 요약 | The presented work is among the first objectively investigating how package design and provider technique impact the sterile transfer of medical devices. Specific research goals were: 1. To evaluate how package design features (inward curl, outw |
| 요약 | To explore goals 1, 2 and 4, a total of 136 healthcare providers were asked to present devices to a simulated sterile field. Participants' gloved hands and the outside of test pouches were coated with a contamination simulant and participants we |
| 요약 | Results indicated significant main effects of pouch design (p<0.001) and aseptic technique (P=0.0189) on rates of contact with non-sterile surfaces. Pouches designed to curl outward resulted in less contact than all other designs, this was true |
| 요약 | In support of goal 4, two geometries were created using a novel prototyping method we developed (goal 3-described within): one geometry represented a chevron pouch while the second was a rounded shape. Each of the two base geometries was modifie |
