5. Edition der TOS+H Expo 2024 in Istanbul

Vom 2.- 4. Mai 2024 öffnet die TOS+H Expo wieder ihre Tore. An allen drei Tagen können interessierte Besucher und Experten zeitgleich zur Messe auch an Symposien, Vorträgen und Workshops rund um das Thema Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitssicherheit teilnehmen. 

Die TOS+H Expo ist die größte Messe zum Thema Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitssicherheit in der Türkei und die einzige Veranstaltung, die alle Bereiche des Arbeitsschutzes abdeckt: Von der Medizin über die Industrie bis hin zur IT und dem Umweltschutz sind alle Branchen unter einem Dach vertreten. 

Als Fachmesse für Sicherheit und Gesundheit bei der Arbeit bringt die TOS+H Expo Hersteller, Händler, Wissenschaftler, Arbeitsmediziner, Ministerien und Institutionen zusammen. Die Industriekammer Istanbul wird die TOS+H Expo und das parallel stattfindende Occupational Health and Safety Symposium, wieder mit aktuellen und zukunftsweisenden Themen ergänzen. Daraus ergeben sich wichtige Impulse für die Präventionskultur in Unternehmen in der Türkei und ihren Nachbarstaaten.

Veranstaltet wird die TOS+H Expo von der Messe Düsseldorf und dem lokalen Veranstalter Tezulas Fuar. Die Messe Düsseldorf organisiert auch die A+A, eine Messe für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin in Deutschland. Die A+A 2023 fand vom 24.-27. Oktober in Düsseldorf statt und verzeichnete mit 2.200 Ausstellern und einer Ausstellungsfläche von 80.300 Quadratmetern neue Rekordzahlen. 

Die TOS+H Expo, Kongress und Workshops finden wieder im ICC (Istanbul Congress Center) statt. Das Gelände liegt mitten in der Stadt und ist gut mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erreichen. Auf der TOS+H Expo 2022 zeigten 111 Unternehmen aus neun Ländern ihre Produkte und Innovationen. Die Fachmesse lockte knapp 4.500 Besucher aus 58 Ländern an.

DITF: Pleated textile tube for ventilation of surgical fields

The German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF) will be exhibiting at the MEDICA medical technology trade fair in Düsseldorf from November 13 to 16, 2023. At the joint stand of Baden-Württemberg International, a new development will be shown, that can reduce infections during operations.

These nosocomial infections occur when surgical wounds are contaminated by microbes. They can lead to serious complications. The task of the contract development was to create a porous ring tube that reduces the risk of contamination during operations. Germ-free air is introduced into the operating field via the so-called airflow ring, thereby shielding pathogenic germs.

The tube is knitted from polyester and folded. This pleating ensures that the circular shape remains stable, but the tube is still flexible. The outside of the tube is coated so that the air is directed into the inner area of the airflow ring. The ring is attached to the skin with a biocompatible adhesive so that it fits tightly on curved areas of the body such as the face or around joints. The position of the ring can be easily changed.

The functionality of the airflow ring was successfully demonstrated in tests with nebulized colony-forming bacteria.

The tests showed that the ring also withstands significantly worse conditions than in an operating theater, e.g. in doctors' surgeries and in situations with lower hygiene standards.

Freudenberg showcases Superabsorbers and Coated Foams at EWMA 2023

Freudenberg Performance Materials (Freudenberg) is expanding its product portfolio by adding an elastic variant of its flexible superabsorbers for modern wound dressings. These superabsorbers increase the comfort level for patients as well as enabling longer wear time, thus reducing the frequency of dressing changes. Further highlights at EWMA include components for more sustainable wound care, PU foams with directly applied silicone adhesives, antimicrobial systems and an innovative hydrophilic debridement foam. The global manufacturer will be welcoming visitors to Exhibition Stand from May 3 – 5 at EWMA 2023.

Freudenberg uses a new technology to manufacture the elastic superabsorbers. Unlike other methods, this technology does not perforate or slit the material, thus achieving a high degree of consistent elasticity. Furthermore, the technology used by Freudenberg bonds the superabsorbent fibers more uniformly with the material, thus enhancing the integrity of this layer in the wound dressing.

Further highlights
Freudenberg is also presenting the M 1714 wound pad component, one example of a sustainable solution that simultaneously delivers on performance. The dressing consists of bio-based fibers and exhibits a smooth wound contact layer. M 1714 has been evaluated for industrial compostability and conforms to ISO 13432. This enables certification of product biodegradability. Further highlights to be presented in Milan include material systems for the antimicrobial treatment of chronic wounds, including systems that do not use active substances.

Wound dressing with silicone adhesive border
With Freudenberg’s silicone coated foams, manufacturers can reduce the number of process steps, thereby avoiding waste, saving energy and simplifying the supply chain. Compared with conventional foam dressings, the Freudenberg foam product also offers higher flexibility for optimal wound bed contouring and reduces the risk of infection by preventing exudate pooling. Freudenberg is showcasing the prototype of a bordered dressing with a silicone adhesive border. In addition, the variant with an extra-strong silicone border enables longer wear time while at the same time ensuring minimal adherence to new skin that forms at the wound edges.

More effective cleansing results and greater patient comfort
Freudenberg is also showcasing an innovative hydrophilic debridement foam. It is ideally suited for use in wound cavities, offers better cleansing results and reduced risk as well as greater patient comfort.
