Mae angen i bractisau deintyddol a gwasanaethau gofal iechyd eraill sterileiddio eu meddygfeydd ar \u00f4l pob claf oherwydd y risg o groes-heintio. Datblygwyd dull o gyflymu\u2019r broses hon gan wyddonwyr yng Nghanolfan Technoleg Gofal Iechyd <\/a> Ysgol Feddygaeth Prifysgol Abertawe mewn cydweithrediad \u00e2 Phractis Deintyddol Cambria<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mae rhai practisau deintyddol yn cynhyrchu defnynnau bach o anadl cleifion (aerosolau) sy'n ffynonellau posibl o heintiau. Oherwydd na ellid gohirio gweithdrefnau brys, roedd yn hanfodol datblygu arferion sterileiddio i atal trosglwyddo afiechydon fel COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roedd Canolfan Technoleg Gofal Iechyd Prifysgol Abertawe yn falch o gefnogi Practis Deintyddol Cambria yn Abertawe i ddatblygu ffyrdd newydd o ddefnyddio golau uwchfioled (UV) i sterileiddio ystafelloedd ymgynghori, gan sicrhau diogelwch cleifion a staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helpodd yr ateb syml, cost-effeithiol hwn i gynyddu nifer y cleifion y gellid eu trin. Roedd hefyd yn golygu llacio'r canllawiau a gallai'r practis ganiat\u00e1u triniaethau deintyddol nad ydynt yn rhai brys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mae potensial i\u2019r dull hwn gael ei ddefnyddio mewn lleoliadau gofal iechyd eraill fel meddygfeydd, a hyd yn oed mewn ysgolion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mae\u2019r cydweithrediad hwn i\u2019w weld yn Arddangosfa Gwyddoniaeth Oriel yng Nghanol Dinas Abertawe. Mae'r arddangosda yn rhad ac am ddim ac ar agor ddydd Sadwrn a dydd Sul 10am-4pm.
