SPAIN OPERATING ROOM TEXTILES
SPANISH MARKET Historic development - O.R.Textiles • Hospitals used to prepare their O.R. textile packs. • Outsourcing laundry service • Low quality cotton products and poor laundry service for O.R. exigency. • Introduction of disposable O.R. textiles • New scenario for reusable O.R. textiles
SPANISH MARKET O.R. TEXTILE MARKET TODAY • Disposables: 65% • Cotton/Poly-cotton textiles: 30% • Technical reusable textiles: 5% LAUNDRY GROUPS: • FLISA: 28 laundries • INDUSAL: 20 laundries
