Procedural Kits: An Essential Medical Consumable
Medical consumables are products used by healthcare professionals on a daily basis to improve patient care. The provision of high quality consumables significantly streamlines the clinical process, decreasing procedure time and reducing the risk of infection.
Procedural kits are an invaluable healthcare consumable, and assist hospitals and clinics to function in a smooth manner. Paragon Care have a wide range of procedural kits available to suit every need and are committed to providing high-quality supplies to assist clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
What is a procedural kit?
A procedural kit is a package containing goods used for medical and surgical processes. In most cases, at least one of the items is a medical device or a IVD device.
A first aid kit is an example of a common procedural kit. Containing a collection of medical consumables including bandages, pain-relief medication, cotton wool and sanitiser, a first aid kit is designed to be used in the initial treatment of an injury.
There are a range of more specialised kits available to medical professionals. In order for a package to be classified as a ‘procedural kit’, specific regulatory requirements must be met in accordance with medical device legislation.
What medical specialities use procedural kits?
Procedural kits are a vital tool and are used across all healthcare environments including surgery, ophthalmology, gynaecology, orthopaedics, DNA testing, heart and lung therapies and theatre. Standardised kits grant clinicians confidence in the types of tools they have on-hand, whilst customised kits are also a favoured option by professionals working in unique settings.
What types of tools and consumables are included in a procedural kit?
The types of medical consumables that are included in procedural kits depends on the type of kit that a clinician requires. For example, a sterile surgical kit may include clamps, drapes, sutures, needles, forceps, scalpels, gauze and dressings. An ophthalmic procedural kit, on the other hand, may contain instruments used for ophthalmic examination, diagnosis and treatment including scalpels, forceps, curved scissors, speculums and needle holders.
