those power tools. Plus, if the system alerts the OR crew that there may
be a problem, you can diagnose and address it before the patient comes
into the OR. That gives the surgeon confidence that the equipment is
reliable and that it's going to come on when you pull the trigger.
4. Easy to join
For high-volume surgeons trying to get through a lot of cases, the
ease with which you can put power tools together and how efficient-
ly the scrub team can process and prepare them for use in the OR is
key. Fortunately, manufacturers have realized that the devices are
often handled by scrub nurses and others who don't have the same
experience level as the surgeons. So manufacturers are developing
quick-coupling technology to make power tools easier than ever to
put together. And with oscillating and motorized shavers and burs,
it's a straightforward plug-in and push-button release.
