ation. The existing floor was of good quality, and likely had a long
usable life ahead of it, but when it got wet, it became slippery. And
during arthroscopy cases, it invariably got wet.
We replaced those existing floors with a rubberized option. It's
not as slippery when wet, and it also has anti-fatigue properties,
which help pre-
vent aching
feet, knees and
backs during
long cases. We
also place dis-
posable
absorbent mats
around the sur-
gical field to
keep puddles at
bay.
There aren't a
large number
of flooring choices out
there, but it's a product cate-
gory you'll want to do some
research on before you
install it in your ORs. Visit
other hospitals and seek
input from the people who
spend their days in the ORs.
Use them as sounding
boards to assist you in learn-
ing what's effective and
RECOVERY IS NOT
SAFETY IS EASY
