Abstract: PURPOSE: To design and make a practical multifunctional aseptic storage bag for oral surgical procedures, and explore its clinical value. METHODS: According to clinical needs, a multifunctional aseptic storage bag was developed for oral surgical procedures. The contamination rate of instruments and equipments, the funds consumed due to the contamination of instruments and equipment, the numbers of needlestick injuries with electric knife during operation, and the satisfaction of surgeons to the management of intraoperative contaminated instruments during operation were compared before (2017) and after (2018) using multifunctional aseptic storage bag. The data was analyzed with SPSS 17.0 software package. RESULTS: After application of multifunctional aseptic storage bag in oral surgical procedures in our hospital, the contamination rate of instruments and equipments decreased significantly in 2018 compared with the previous year (from 16.41% to 7.04%); the total savings were 81,765 RMB; the numbers of needlestick injuries with electric knife decreased by 19 cases (from 24 cases to 5 cases); the satisfaction of surgeons with the management of intraoperative contaminated instruments increased from 78% up to 100%,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This multifunctional aseptic storage bag can effectively solve the problem of difficult management of articles in oral surgical procedures. It not only reduces the consumption during operation, but also reduces the occurrence of needlestick injuries and improves the satisfaction of surgeons.
