LAUNDRY BAG FOR CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND OTHER OBJECTS AND WASHING PROCEDURE FOR CONTAMINATED CLOTHING AND OTHER OBJECTS

摘要

The laundry bag for contaminated clothing and objects presented here is made of high- or low-density polyethylene or a combination of these, it is waterproof and has at least one soluble seam (100) or more, which open when the laundry bag and the objects it is filled with come in contact with water in the washer. These seamed bags (84) are intended to be placed directly in the washing machine to minimize human contact with contaminated/infectious laundry.;This seamed bag (84) is usually 70 x 110 cm, but it is possible to extrude any size; the thickness of the bag is typically 50 to 60 microns.;The seam (100) on the bag is made with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thread, and the best results are achieved if the bag on the side where the seam is is folded twice before sewing. Such a sewn bag is so much easier to open in the washing machine than the bag sewn along one side without overlapping.
