You can do it with Nozin ® Nasal Sanitizer ® antiseptic. Eighty percent of surgical site infections are endogenous and often match pathogens living inside the patient's nose. Studies show that skin and nasal decolonization protocols are effective in reducing SSI. A quick application of this innovative nasal antiseptic before and after surgery profoundly reduces infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus including MRSA. Comprised of ethanol and emollients, Nozin is safe, pleasant and can maintain nasal decolonization for both patients and caregivers without antibiotics or iodine. It's low-cost, persistent and easy to use. Choose from the single-use POPswab ® ampule, available in various quantities, or multi-use 12ml bottle. Samples available! For more information, call (877) 669-4648 or visit www.nozin.com Will Your Scope Leak Tester Get a Passing Grade?

Have confidence in the performance of your endoscope leak tester with a Leak Tester Tester from Healthmark. It checks the accuracy of air pressure from automated and handheld testers. Usage is simple. Attach the Leak Tester Tester to your leak tester, turn it on and check the pressure on the gauge. Know instantly how much air is being expelled. The Leak Tester Tester helps avoid the risks of cross-contamination, damage and expensive repairs associated with leaking endoscopes. Available in four models for use with select Olympus, Pentax and Karl Storz leak testers. For more information, call (800) 521-6224 or visit www.healthmarkgi.com
