In the surgical suite, there are a lot of processes that go on to ensure the cleanliness of the area, as well as surgeon safety, patient safety and the safety of everyone who enters the room. With the use of the right products, you can keep the operating room safer for everyone involved by keeping all of the sharps safely stored, transported and disposed of.
Eliminate the Risk of Needle Sticks
During a surgical closing procedure, the technician will need to pass sutures and needles back and forth with the doctor as required. This can create the potential to drop the equipment, making it unusable, or even accidentally being stuck by the needle during the transfer. The good news is there are products that can help reduce and potentially even eliminate these risks. Needle traps help ensure sharps safety in the operating room. There are even suture kits that attach directly to the doctor’s arm, eliminating the need to pass needles and sutures back and forth between two people. Everything is right at their fingertips, including for disposal, ensuring surgical safety.
Improve Safe Handling
Using a needle trap and barrier kit will improve sharps safety handling in the operating room. The system will improve the surgeon’s safety and overall surgical safety for the whole operating room by keeping track of needles in one simple place and allowing the doctor to handle loading sutures himself.
