Recall-Free Fluid Waste Management
Want to manage fluid waste without having to jump through the hoops mandated by the FDA recall of a competing product? Check out the Dornoch Medical System Ultraflex Fluid Carts from Zimmer Surgical. High-flow suction manifolds capture and collect fluid runoff in lighted reservoirs, which are linked to the company's evacuation station through a nozzle connection. The nozzle drains the fluid, applies and drains an enzymatic cleaner and dispenses an EPA-approved disinfectant — the only device on the market to do so — without exposing staff to the dangers of handing infectious waste.
Safety-Centric Spine Table
Allen Medical's new customizable Allen Advance Table features a 600-lb. weight capacity and has intuitive directions for engaging and disengaging the one-touch electronic braking system, tilting the table's surface to put patients in prone or supine positions and "flipping" patients mid-procedure. An H-bracket structural design eliminates the possibility of the table collapsing if staff members pull the wrong pins while adjusting the surface's position. Table pads made of multi-layer density foam with gel coatings and a new chest pad designed to better accommodate women's breasts during surgery help protect patients' skin.
