Abstract
It was conducted cost-minimization analysis (CMA) for use in a hospital medical product «Ethanol wipes «МК Aseptic»» in comparison with «routine» practice of making and using gauze (or cotton balls) and 70% ethanol or 70% isopropyl alcohol. CMA has shown that when calculating manufacturing «manual» method gauze moistened with 70% ethanol, the manufacturing cost will be 3.62 rub. /pcs., which is 2.5 once higher than the purchase price of products manufactured on an industrial scale. In calculating the production of «manual» method of cotton balls moistened with 70% ethanol, the cost of manufacturing was 2.79 rub. /pcs., which is 1.9 once higher than the purchase price of products manufactured on an industrial scale. The dominant technology was the «Ethanol wipes «МК Aseptic»».
