Principles and Practice of Surgical Technology

Question 1

Dressing with a transparent polyurethane film with an adhesive backing where little drainage is anticipated (surgiceal)

Answer 1

One-Layer dressing

Question 2

Dressing that consist of an inner (contact) layer, intermediate (absorbent) layer and outer (secure) layer for wounds were drainage is anticipated

Answer 2

Three-Layer dressing

Question 3

Non adherent and doesn’t allow the passage of any thing directly through it.

Answer 3

Nonpermeable (occlusive)

Question 4

Allows for the passage of fluids and air through it and creates a mechanical surface. Used often for wound debridement

Answer 4

Semi-Permeable (Semi-Occlusive)

Question 5

A non adherent dressing That draws fluid out and allows the passage of fluid and air

Answer 5

Permeable (non-Occlusive)

Question 6

Answer 6

Robinson, Coude (curved end) Catheters

Question 7

Self-retaining, indwelling catheters

Answer 7

Foley Catheters (2-way (5cc) 3-way (30cc))

Question 8

Answer 8

Maecot (winged tip) Pezzer (mushroom)

Question 9

Balloon tipped catheter that can pass through vein, arteries and ducts to remove a blockage

Answer 9

Fogarty Catheter

Question 10

Passage of fluids from a high to low pressure (T-tube, penrose, gastrostomy tube)

Answer 10

Question 11

Passage of fluids by creating negative pressure (Hemovac, Jackson-Pratt, Stryer)

Answer 11

Active Drain
