PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR A CLEAN ROOM OR ASEPTIZED ENVIRONMENT The present invention relates to the field of clean rooms, in particular to protective equipment for a cleanroom or sanitized environment, particularly to a garment for a clean room or aseptic environment and even more particularly to a combination for clean room or sanitized environment. By extrapolation, most of this protective equipment is also suitable for the medical and hospital environment.

The present invention further relates to a method of packaging protective equipment for a clean room or sanitized medium according to the present invention.

The present invention also relates to a dressing process for coating protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment according to the present invention.

The present invention relates more particularly to protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment comprising: an exterior face intended to be in contact with the surrounding environment, an interior face designed to be in contact with OR oriented towards a manipulator.

Such protective equipment is used in clean room environments, in laboratories, for example making it possible to manufacture drugs or even biological, electronic or food material in an Oseptic and sterile environment.

Clean rooms are used in particular in many fields such as electronics, micromechanics, optics, nanotechnologies and biotechnologies, pharmaceuticals, sterile compounding preparations in pharmacies, medical equipment or even in the food industry.

To ensure an aseptic and sterile environment in the laboratory and more particularly in the clean room, it must be built according to very strict standards. For example, the cleanroom needs to be supplied with a large amount of air filtered by high efficiency filters to dilute and remove particles, bacteria and chemicals inside the room. Air is also used to pressurize the room and ensure that no contaminated air enters the clean room.

In addition, the cleanroom must be constructed with materials chosen specifically not to generate contaminants, particles or chemical fumes and the materials must in addition be easy to clean.

Finally, when it comes to people, in other words manipulators working inside clean rooms, they must wear special clothing, accessories, equipment, tools to minimize the dispersion of microorganisms and particles that they themselves generate such as hair, skin particles and clothing fibers.

For these reasons, in this type of room, it is necessary to isolate the user's body so that it does not contaminate the environment in which it works or that it does not contaminate the product that it manufactures or on which it does. work.

When a handler has to work in such a sterile environment, he must, before entering the clean rooms, put on the various protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment in accordance with a very specific protocol.

Such procedures are very tedious and generally require the manipulator to perform unconventional and very specific gestures and movements, for example the manipulator cannot touch any exterior face of protective equipment for white dirty or sanitized medium under penalty of contaminating this equipment. and therefore having to renew its dressing operation.

In addition, the existing protective equipment for clean rooms or sanitized environments are therefore sterilized and supplied in packaging which must be airtight but which must also withstand autoclaving while on the one hand must be easy to open for the operator beforehand. enter the clean room and, on the other hand, sufficiently resistant to avoid tearing which could result in contact of the protective equipment with a contaminated environment and therefore the subsequent introduction of contaminants into the bianche room, ia most of the time without the handler being able to realize it given the size of the contaminants.

Protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment is typically packaged with a seal, sterilized and individually but disposable, in other words Single Use, which represents a significant source of waste. However, in a clean room or in a sanitized environment, everything that comes in must come out and be treated. The current trend, given the current climate challenges, is to reduce disposable packaging and associated waste without compromising the sterility of the whole.

There is therefore a real need to provide protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic medium having compliant sterility, resistant during the logistical stages and which takes into account the constraints of cost and the environment.

The object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing equipment for a clean room or a sanitized environment, the sterility of which is maintained during the logistical stages while being less fragile and making it possible to limit the environmental impact and costs associated with the logistics of IO protection equipment: decontamination, reconditioning and storage.

To solve these problems, there is provided according to the present invention, protective equipment for a clean room or sanitized environment as mentioned above, characterized in that said protective equipment is packaged in a reusable and sterilizable pouch, preferably of textile material. , having an opening provided with closing means.

1 has appeared in a particularly surprising manner that the protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment according to the present invention by being packaged in a reusable and sterilizable pouch, preferably of textile material, provides protective equipment whose direct protection is improved during the logistical, storage and opening stages.

# has also appeared, in a particularly surprising and advantageous manner, that the sterility of protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment according to the present invention is improved and maintained during the various logistical stages.

Finally, providing protective equipment for a clean room or asepiized environment according to the present invention, packaged in a reusable and sterilable pouch which has an opening provided with closure means, makes it particularly advantageous to dispense with packaging, plastic packaging, packaging. papers which are single-use, fragile, disposable, consumers of raw materials and which therefore represent a non-negligible cost, on the one hand the cost of the packaging as such, and on the other hand, the latter being at fragile use it is more subject to an accident resulting in contamination and is therefore linked to a cost of cleaning and decontamination of the bianche room.

Advantageously, the protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment according to the present invention is chosen from the group comprising a garment, for example a jumpsuit, an apron, a headgear, for example a cap or a balaclava, which less than ONE glove. , at least one shoe cover, one shoe, one clog, one mask, glasses, cuffs, underwear, boots. Preferably, the pouch of the protective equipment according to the present invention is connected to the interior face or to the exterior face by at least one fixing means allowing the pouch to be secured.

Preferably, the pouch of the protective equipment according to the present invention is connected to the inside face of a garment by at least one fixing means allowing the pouch to be secured to the inside face of said garment.

The pouch of the protective equipment according to the present invention by being connected to the inside face of a garment and by being secured to this inside face by means of at least one fastening means makes it possible in a particularly advantageous manner to isolate the pouch from the surrounding environment when the garment is worn by the operator.

Indeed, initially the pouch is in contact with the surrounding environment which is contaminated.

The pouch, being connected to the inside face of a garment conditioned therein, allows, when removing the garment from the pouch and unfolding the garment for the handling of the manipulator, to enclose the pouch in the garment, isolating it. thus of the surrounding environment and consequently limiting the possibility of contamination of the clean room or of the sanitized environment.

Advantageously, the at least one fixing means of the protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment according to the present invention is a temporary fixing means, for example a press stud or a series of press studs, a zipper, self-gripping means, optionally arranged on a flap tab.

More advantageously, the at least one means of securing the protective equipment for a clean room or a seized environment according to the present invention is a seam or a weld.

Other embodiments of the protective equipment for a clean room or sanitized environment according to the present invention are indicated in the appended claims.

The present invention also relates to a garment, and in particular to a suit for a clean room or aseptic environment.

When a handler has to work in such a sterile environment, he must, before entering the clean rooms, put on clothes, and in particular coveralls, respecting a very specific protocol.

Such procedures are very fostidious and usually require the manipulator to dress completely contrary to what he is used to doing and contrary to how he would dress instinctively.

The existing suits are therefore sterilized and supplied in airtight packaging which must on the one hand be easy to open for the handler before entering the clean room and, on the other hand, sufficiently resistant to avoid the tearing which could have for consequence of the contact of the suit with a coniaminated environment and therefore the subsequent introduction of contaminants into the clean room, most of the time without the operator being able to realize it given the size of the contaminants.

It is therefore easy to understand that on the one hand the personnel, the manipulators and the coveralls they wear are the main sources of contamination of clean rooms or sanitized environments and on the other hand that contamination is absolutely to be avoided because if such contamination should have occurred, this leads to stopping production, sterilization or even destruction of the ingredients and materials present and long and costly cleaning steps according to a very specific protocol to once again provide a sterile and aseptic environment.

Thus, the manipulator must then put on the clothes, such as coveralls without touching the outer face intended to be in contact with the sterile environment and especially, without touching the outer face of the body part, i.e. extending from the pelvis, up the manipulator's legs to his neck.

It therefore follows a whole manipulation during which certain parts of the suit are folded up, where the manipulator climbs on a bench, puts on one leg without it touching the ground, then the other leg while taking care not to nothing to let go or touch.

It is easy to understand that this skillful procedure requires gymnastics requiring great dexterity and many years of training and practice as the risk of contaminating a clean room is to be avoided,

Document EP2303044 discloses a piece of equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment in which said garment is a garment for a clean room or aseptic environment comprising: € An outer face intended to be in contact with the surrounding environment, + an inner face arranged to be in contact with a manipulator, s a first and a second sleeve, * A body part comprising a trunk part and a leg part, said first and second sleeves being connected to the body part, preferably to the trunk part by a bonded end, said body portion comprising a head passage section, minus a gripping means in contact with said inner face in the body portion, preferably in the trunk portion.

Unfortunately, such a garment according to the prior art does not make it possible to ensure sterility and sufficient protection of the garment meeting the requirements of clean rooms, in particular in view of the stages of packaging, transport, delivery, opening of packages and therefore of clothing for bianche room or individual sanitized environment which are all stages during which shocks, cuts, negligence can occur resulting in their contamination even if this is not visible to the naked eye months will be detected only when the manipulator undergoes controls or that the products from the clean room will be analyzed.
