The total cost of paper-plastic packaging materials used in the hospital from January 2015 and October 2015 was compared to the total cost of disposable medical non-woven packaging materials used in the hospital from January 2014 to October 2014. It was found that for paper-plastic packaging materials,the number of clinical small medical items (bags for removing stitches and bags for expanding stitching) was 5437 less than disposable medical non-woven packaging materials,when the number of patients entering and discharging from the hospital slightly increased.
