The cases of novel coronavirus infection and the increasing risk of infection have caught countries unprepared. China, which had controlled the epidemic two months earlier, took the lead in launching the large-scale production of various medical protection materials, which not only met the domestic demand, but also spared no effort to help other countries.

The plastics industry has played an important role in the process of anti epidemic. The plastics that can be applied in the biomedical field include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and polyurethane (PU). Among them, pet has been widely used in the production of blood collection vessels, protective masks, protective clothing, drug packaging, anti epidemic drinks, and implantable materials (surgical sutures, artificial tendons, and artificial ligaments) in biomedicine, meeting the needs of anti epidemic work.

Below, Wantai Xiaobian will take you to understand the specific applications of pet in epidemic prevention:

1. Blood collection vessel

The transparent and clean pet blood collection tube has stable performance. The tube wall is specially treated to prevent wall hanging and hemolysis. It is convenient for transportation, with low damage rate and high safety. It can be directly sterilized or burned after use, which is green and environmentally friendly.

2. Protective mask

It can effectively prevent the splashing of pollutants on the face of medical staff during diagnosis and treatment; It is also common to protect individuals in public places during the epidemic. After anti fogging treatment, pet products have high transparency, effectively solving the problem of fogging on the surface of materials, and providing users with a clear vision.

3. Protective clothing

The spunlace protective clothing made of polyester fiber can isolate microorganisms, particulate matter and various fluids, can withstand disinfection treatment, and has the functions of tear resistance, puncture resistance, strain resistance and abrasion resistance.

4. Mask consumables

Polyester mask rope is non irritating to skin and has good mechanical strength and elasticity.

5. Disinfectant packaging bottle

In the battle against covid-19, Sidel provided packaging bottles for holding alcohol gel. This small capacity PET bottle is convenient for pharmacy distribution and personal use, and all bottles are 100% recyclable and can be refilled after disinfection.

6. Medical blister box

The blister box is made of PET sheet and complies with FDA / Rose / SGS and other standards. It has low price, good light transmittance, high strength, good biocompatibility and microbial barrier performance.

7. Anti epidemic beverage packaging bottle

PET bottles are widely used in the packaging fields of carbonated drinks, purified water, oil bottles, functional drinks, fruit juices, fresh milk, spices and so on. During the epidemic, packaged water and common drinks greatly met the rigid demand of consumers for isolation at home. Recently, "yuekang No. 1" herbal tea launched by Xiangxue pharmaceutical for the prevention of novel coronavirus was welcomed by the market during the epidemic period.
