Time is of the essence in the operating suite, requiring optimal efficiency to complete procedures quickly without adversely affecting patient health and safety. Operating room safety has advanced over the years, helping surgeons and medical teams provide better patient care. Using the right products will boost OR efficiency and give surgeons powerful tools to ensure a smooth operation.
Improving Surgical Closures
While the operation ensures patients can heal and regain health, closing the incisions is vital to proper healing. By improving the surgical closure process, you can rest assured that patients will heal well with minimal scarring. Using products like closure systems allows you to close wounds faster with minimal insertion depth and lower tissue tension. Patients will experience fewer complications from sutures as a result.
Increasing Sharps Safety
Patient safety is a primary concern, but so is keeping you and your surgical team safe from accidental needle sticks and other accidents. Sharps are a top cause of accidents in the surgical suite. The good news is that you can find products that safely store new and used sharps for safe disposal. These products mount to the surgical drape or your arm, giving you fast, easy access to pre-loaded suture needles and dispose of them after use without the risk of passing them back and forth with a scrub tech/
