Knife paper is a kind of paper special for parturient, which is actually a kind of paper similar to toilet paper. It is an absorbent material. The main material is high polymer and high polymer composite paper formed by cotton, non-woven fabric, pulp or the combination of the above materials. The design of side edges is mainly used to prevent side leakage.
Knife paper is very sanitary, and it is very helpful for wound recovery. It is very convenient to use, can be thrown away directly after use, and is very breathable.
Compared with ordinary toilet paper, knife paper looks a little rough, because knife paper is not made by deinking, pulp washing, bleaching and other processes like ordinary toilet paper. It is not only soft in paper, good in water absorption, but also contains very little bacteria. Compared with ordinary toilet paper, knife paper is safer and more suitable for women who have just given birth and are still very weak.
When is the knife paper used?
It is used for disinfection of wounds. Many parturients need lateral incision when they are in labor. The parturient who has a caesarean section has a long knife edge. Both wounds need to be disinfected frequently. Nurses will use cotton balls dipped in iodophor to disinfect the parturient. In this process, after the cotton balls dipped in iodophor are squeezed, iodophor will flow out. If there is a knife paper below, the sheets will not be dirty, which is very hygienic.
In the first three days after delivery, a lot of lochia will flow out, and sometimes the doctor will help to press it. If these lochia flow on the sheets or pants, it is particularly difficult to clean, so you can use knife paper and throw it away directly after use, which is particularly convenient.
When preparing skin, skin preparation is mainly suitable for patients before surgery. It is a routine preparation before surgery to remove the hair and other substances that may cause infection from the patient's surgical site and surrounding skin. Generally, skin preparation is done one hour before surgery.
After skin preparation, the nurse will also disinfect the parturient. In order to prevent hair and disinfectant from staining the bed, it is necessary to use knife paper.
