ポータブル撮影におけるプラスチックバッグによるX 線カセッテのラッピング─感染予防と患者に与える不快感の軽減を目的として─

抄録

Portable radiography is available for the patient who is postoperative, severe condition and old. As they have weak immunity, it is important to prevent from hospital infection. Wrapping of 14×14 inch or 14×17 inch X-ray cassette by a plastic (polyethylene) bag a little bit bigger than the cassette was proposed for infection prevention in portable radiography. How to wrap the cassette easily was devised using the sheath of a polyester bag cutting at the bottom. In radiography with the grid, the plastic bag fastens the X-ray grid to the cassette substantially without any other means. In addition, the wrapped cassette, or the cassette with grid covered by the foamed plastic sheet alleviates patient’s discomfort.
