Green O.R. matters

As “Carbon Neutrality” has become a hot topic, the concern of environmental protection is soaring. And how to reach the goal of Carbon Neutrality has set an unprecedented challenge for hospitals.

It’s estimated that North American operating rooms alone account for 20%-33% of total hospital waste (CMAJ November 20, 2012 184 (17) 1905-1911). Nowadays, due to patient safety, cost and convenience, more and more supplies in O.R. are marked as “single use” and discarded. Most of them are not easily biodegradable, including disposable (SMS/SMMS/SMMMS) surgical gowns, surgical trays, and drapes, which could become waste after disposal and cause major environmental challenges. And the problems are getting worse and worse.

Build A Future O.R. with Greener Innovations

With "cotton" as its core, winner medical is dedicated in developing and promoting new materials made of cotton. Being a natural fibre, cotton is soft , comfortable, and biodegradable. By employing cotton into surgical products, we created greener innovations including protective apparels and custom procedure trays and packs. They not only promote a good quality of operative care, but also benefit our environment, which will make a difference of future O.R. .
