What is one of the most overlooked risk of medical lasers? Smoke plumes emitted during procedures. Why? These plumes can potentially contain intact viral particles that may be capable of transmitting different pathologies. Despite the risks, there can be a lack of adherence to smoke evacuation requirements in surgical settings. Relying on masks or standard suction isn’t enough to protect against these dangers. 🛡️ So what is your best defense? Invest in a reliable smoke evacuation system — whether it’s a mobile unit or a strategically installed OR system.

Our new Adapt Line™ of support surfaces is powered by ONE universal pump with an easy-to-use interface. That means one pump for the Adapt Convertible™, Adapt Air™ and the Adapt Air Pro™ — and their expandable (EX) versions. We did this based on the feedback we received from clinicians, which was to minimize the need to learn all new technology when transitioning between different support surfaces. One pump. One easy-to-use interface. Three therapy modes that support patient comfort and help treat/prevent pressure injuries. #AdaptLine #SupportSurfaces

As flexible endoscopes become more complex, they can be a challenging (and costly) device to maintain and repair. In our latest blog, we highlight a Beyond Clean podcast episode that Jake McHugh, CRCST, CIS, CHL, CER, Process Improvement Auditor at Agiliti, joined to talk about how hospitals can use data-driven equipment management processes to gain visibility into the details and costs of scope repair. One of the major topics discussed? The role of the repair vendor and expectations related to: - Repair trends and data (and other reporting) - Education for providers and technicians - Issue identification and remediation Explore these topics and more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gvbXr_xY #FlexibleEndoscopes #SurgicalEquipment #OR #EndoscopeRepair

Cats out of the bag! We’d like to introduce our new Adapt Line™ of therapeutic support surfaces! We designed this new family of products based on direct feedback from front-line clinicians to improve ease of use, reduce patient risk and to provide a surface that helps to prevent and treat pressure injuries. We are so excited about what these surfaces can do to support patient care.

To help Sterile Processing leaders understand the root causes of flexible endoscope damage, we looked at tens of thousands of our repair reports to identify trends. In our upcoming Beyond Clean Flexible Endoscope Expert Series articles, Michael Matthews MBA, CLSSGB will highlight the common damages we found and share ideas to help decrease the occurrence of these damages and the associated repair spendings. Explore our previous Expert Series articles, and stay tuned for new articles coming soon 👉 https://lnkd.in/gXh9dnpn #FlexibleEndoscopes #BeyondClean #ExpertSeries

Want to know what inspires all our therapeutic support surface design? It’s a simple idea: improve outcomes for patients and the caregivers who support them. Our design team applies decades of experience as frontline caregivers to develop support surfaces that withstand the rigors of care and deliver exceptional performance. We use advanced construction and materials within every product to minimize patient safety risks, enhance comfort and promote optimal microclimate management. Visit Booth 249 at this year’s #WOCNext to see some of our newest support surfaces in person and hear more about how better design can lead to better patient outcomes. #WOCNurses #SupportSurfaces #MedSurg

When developing new products, even the smallest design choices can impact clinical outcomes. If you’re attending this year’s #WOCNext, you won’t want to miss our VP of Product Development, Kristen Thurman, discussing how design choices affect support surface performance. Join Kristen at the Innovation Hub on June 9 at 4:45 p.m. to learn how the latest materials and manufacturing methods not only provide better therapy, but can also help prevent fluid ingress, avoid hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and extend the life of this often-overlooked hospital asset. #WOCNurses #SupportSurfaces #HospitalEquipment #HospitalBeds
