    Paper pulp products are not puncture proof for carrying sharps – are you using these types for trays just for needleless injections .
    How do you manage your injections that still have sharps e.g. insulin / clexane?
    We are also investigating this issue as single use injection trays can become costly & staff are reluctant to throw them out to save money & the environment.

    Hi All,
    We use the recyclable paper type of kidney dish – into paper recycling if no visible soil or into the C64 bin if visible contamination.

    Cheers,

    Dear Che,

    Thank you for raising this topic as I have issues with this as well.
    The Oncology and infectious diseases wards will throw them out after single use.
    The ICU will put them in the utensil washer and run a cycle with them in and reuse them if the patient they used them on was not infectious. If the patient is infectious then they dispose of them after single use.
    The other wards will clean them with a neutral detergent and reuse them.

    This has been an historical practice. When I have looked at changing the practice, I have been told that the nursing staff are too busy to clean them out as they use so many of them so it is easier to throw them out.

    I would be interested to hear other people’s experience and practices.

    Thanks,

    Subject: Non-Sterile Kidney Dishes

    Hi,

    Just a quick query regarding the use of non-sterile kidney dishes. Does anyone use them as single use, or continue to use them multiple times if cleaned with neutral detergent?
    Mainly used for carrying sharps, pre & post injections, administration, etc.

    Hi,

    One of our physicians is prescribing potassium permanganate as a wound
    dressing – the staff are keen for a safe guideline to continue using.
    Is anyone still using and could they offer any assistance?

    Hi

    Is anyone doing the National Hand Hygiene 5 Moments audit in an operating theatre? If you are, I would be interested in finding out about your education program, process of auditing, barriers, engagement with medical staff and the improvements you have made.

    Our operating theatre is very keen to be involved in participating in the audit

    Thanks
