NEW PROTOCOL FOR DONNING SURGICAL GLOVES

[Category : - HEALTH]
[Viewed 1663 times]

The Problem

• Currently protective gloves are clumsy and awkward for the wearer to don quickly and efficiently. This can be further aggravated by damp or wet hands and result in compromised sterility.
• There are significant levels of waste during the donning process of sterile and non-sterile gloves, which often fall out of the cardboard boxes due to the haphazard way in which they are packaged.
• Present methods of donning protective gloves are susceptible to cross contamination via damage to the glove during donning. Ripped, deformed or holed gloves increase the likelihood of infection and the risks associated with it.
• Poor attitude to hand hygiene and risk management due to issues of present donning practices e.g. speed of donning, sizing of gloves and the volume of activities/procedures in relation to the convenience of donning.

The MSH Solution

• In essence, the MSH technology ensures consistent glove donning which has been embraced by medical practitioner focus groups because it’s comfortable, easy and quick, and minimises the risk of contamination.
• Its innovation centres on the use of an existing global product, the glove, but dispenses it in such a way that means the wearer never has to come in contact, at any time, with the outside surface of the glove.
• It is easy and convenient for the end user and is waste/ environmentally efficient.

Product Objectives

• Increase the speed and convenience of donning medical gloves
• Allow ease of donning with wet or sweaty hands
• Introduce a modern, mechanised method of donning gloves
• MSH delivery platform dramatically improves hand hygiene and reduces HAI’s and associated costs of treatment.
• The platform provides an enabling technology to grow the existing global protective glove market

Product Benefits

• Increases the likelihood that medical staff will don appropriate gloves at the appropriate time and with greater ease
• Adds to the multi-faceted approach in tackling hand hygiene, rates of HCAI’s and risk management
• Increases patient confidence knowing more updated hygiene methods and technology is being applied
• The MSH brand could be viewed as the future benchmark in hand barrier products.

Financial information

Background

• My Safe Hands (MSH) is a unique solution which revolutionises the donning process of sterile gloves and is ideally suited to medical applications, together with all clean room environments
• The concept has been developed as a response to the opportunities that exist to help tackle some of the most pre-eminent challenges faced in healthcare such as HAI’s and cross contamination
• My Safe Hands products represent a huge global opportunity because tackling these challenges has been made a priority for health authorities worldwide
• MSH represents an excellent opportunity for an investor to be involved with a pre-production product which is technologically differentiated and with huge applications in a growing market which has a demand for evolving traditional glove donning practices.
Key Features of Opportunity

• My Safe Hands is developing a new approach to the donning process of gloves which complements existing donning practices without significant changes to working practices by users.
• Suited to applications in both sterile and non-sterile environments such as medical examination rooms, operating theatres and dental surgeries, military and aid situations, together with all other clean room environments
• A deceptively simple approach requiring little capital investment for users or investors
• Significant sales opportunity considering the global medical disposal glove market is conservatively estimated to reach $4 billion in 2017 and $7.9 billion by 2020
• Health Acquired Infections (“HAI’s”) continue to be a high profile issue in the global medical arena. My Safe Hands Ltd has a solution which addresses an aspect of this issue
• Technologically proven concept which has successfully completed focus group evaluations with a major NHS Trust
• Significant interest in the technology from a number of major international medical glove manufacturers
• A highly scalable business with global opportunities which are ideally suited to a licence model for overseas territories
