Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of clean rooms, in particular to protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment, particularly to a garment for a clean room or aseptic environment and even more particularly to a suit for a clean room or aseptic environment.
- protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment
- a garment for a clean room or aseptic environment particularly to a garment for a clean room or aseptic environment and even more particularly to a suit for a clean room or aseptic environment.
- the present invention further relates to a method of packaging protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment according to the present invention.
- the present invention also relates to a dressing method 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:
- Clean rooms are used in many fields such as electronics, micromechanics, optics, nanotechnologies and biotechnologies, pharmaceuticals, sterile compounding preparations in pharmacies, medical equipment and even in the food industry.
- the cleanroom should 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.
- 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.
- Document WO2005065476 describes a protective or work suit used in dangerous conditions such as heat, fire, cold, etc.
- the suit comprises a pocket located on the thorax part of the body of the manipulator.
- This pouch has two openings: an upper opening and a lower opening.
- the sleeves of the suit are tucked inside the pocket when the operator passes his hands through, firstly, the lower opening and, second, the upper opening to pull the sleeves inside the pocket via the upper opening.
- the legs will then be raised by the manipulator in the pocket via the upper opening e ⁇ the closed pocket.
- Protective equipment for clean rooms or sanitized environments is typically packaged in sealed packaging, sterilized and individually but disposable, in other words single use, which represents a significant source of waste.
- a clean room or a sanitized environment crazy ⁇ what comes in, must come out and be treated.
- the current trend given the current climatic issues, is to reduce disposable packaging and associated waste without harming the sterility of the whole. There is therefore a real need to provide protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment having compliant sterility, resistant during the logistical stages and which takes into account the cost and environmental constraints.
- the present invention has for bu ⁇ to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing equipment for a clean room or aseptic medium don ⁇ the sterility is maintained during the crazy logistical stages ⁇ by being less fragile and making it possible to limit the environmental impact and costs associated with the logistics of protective equipment: deconfaminafion, recondifionnemen ⁇ e ⁇ storage.
- a protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment as mentioned previously, characterized in that said protective equipment is packaged in a reusable and sterilizable pouch, preferably made of textile material, having an opening provided with closing means.
- the protective equipment for a clean room or aseptic environment by being packaged in a reusable and sterilizable pouch, preferably of textile material, provides ⁇ a protective equipment which allows direct protection is improved during the logistical, storage and opening stages.
- a reusable sterilizable 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 e ⁇ which therefore represent a significant cost, one by ⁇ the cost of the packaging in tan ⁇ that such, e ⁇ the other by ⁇
- the pouch according to the present invention forms a cavity with an opening.

- the pouch being connected to the inside face of a garment conditioned therein, allows, when removing the garment from the pouch e ⁇ of the unfolding of the garment for dressing the manipulator, to enclose the pouch in the garment , thus isolating it from the surrounding environment and consequently limiting the possibility of contamination of the clean room or sanitized environment.
- the at least one means of fixing the protective equipment for the white room or sanitized environment is a temporary fixing means, for example a press stud or a series of press studs, a zipper, hook-and-loop means ⁇ , optionally arranged on a flap tab.
- the at least one means of securing the protective equipment for a clean room or sanitized environment according to the present invention is a seam or a weld.
- the present invention also relates to a garment, and in particular to a suit for a clean room or aseptic environment.
- the existing coveralls are therefore sterilized e ⁇ supplied in airtight packaging which must on the one hand be easy for the operator to open before entering the clean room e ⁇ , on the other hand, sufficiently resistant to avoid tear which could result in contact of the suit with a contaminated environment e ⁇ 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.
- the manipulator must then put on clothes, such as coveralls without touching the outer face intended to be in contact with the sterile environment e ⁇ especially, without touching the outer face of the body part, ie. say extending from the pelvis, up the manipulator's legs to his neck. It therefore follows a manipulation during which certain parts of the suit are folded up, where the manipulator climbs on a bench, puts on one leg without touching the ground, then the other leg while being careful not to let go or touch anything.
