sharp device like a scalpel blade, suture or needle, he'll simply toss it in the bin.
It's unobtrusive and expands to accommodate cases with more sharps, such as
total joints.
4. Organize the trial
Don't overlook logistics.
Order enough product, set
a timeline and capture sur-
geons' evaluations. We
ordered 250 blade handles
for our 18 surgeons in the
hopes that each doc will
use the safety blade at
least 12 times in a month.
This would accommodate
a surgeon who operates on
4 patients on his once-
weekly visit to our center.
During the trial, we'll ask
surgeons to use the safety
devices on every patient.
5. Collect
feedback
The first time surgeons
trial a product, we'll be in
the room with them to
observe them using the
devices and then ask them
REDUCE SHARPS INJURIES
