Patching a Problem in Your Damaged Mattress
Still using Tegaderm or duct tape to cover those cuts, tears and punctures in your mat-
tresses? CleanPatch from Surface
Medical is a medical surface repair
product that repairs and restores
damaged mattresses to an intact
and hygienic state, reducing the
risk of cross-contamination and
extending the life of your mattress-
es. Durable and resistant to bodily
fluids and cleaners, it takes only
seconds to apply CleanPatch, which
the company says you can use on
other soft surfaces in the OR, such as stretcher pads and patient positioners.

Ready to Go Rep-less? Bring In the Surgeon Extenders
Want to reduce your depend-
ency on vendor reps in the
OR? Intralign Surgeon
Extenders can help you do
just that. Surgeon Extenders
are highly qualified surgical
first assistants — typically PA-
Cs or MDs — who let surgeons
increase throughput and
reduce costs. Intralign's staff
of surgical first assistants help lay the foundation for a transition to rep-less surgery by
replacing the rep as a source of clinical and technical knowledge. Intralign says the sales
rep's presence significantly increases the cost of surgery.
