Advanced Radio Frequency Surgery Tools

Safety Product Category

Advanced Radio
Frequency Surgery Tools

Electrosurgery was invented in the beginning of the 20th century and became one of the most-often used surgical tools after William Bovie introduced his radiofrequency generator in 1926. Today, modern electrosurgical cutting tools use continuous radiofrequency waveforms, which thermally vaporize soft tissue through Joule heating and an electrical arc. This results in a cutting and coagulation action that leaves a wide zone of collateral thermal tissue damage.

Newer technologies minimize this thermal tissue damage. In addition, they replace the conventional scalpel blade thus helping the safety to both patient and clinicians.

Enhanced Safety and Convenience For Healthcare Workers

What is NeedleTape®?

NeedleTape® is a unique needle securing adhesive technology designed to provide safety advantages by integrating a safety identifier to alert healthcare workers to the presence of needles. In addition, NeedleTape® provides added convenience through its die-cut design for ease of use. This product has applications in IV therapy, dialysis and anesthesia among other specialties. The technology can also be utilized in a variety of clinical health care settings including labs, surgery centers, clinics and hospitals.

Problem

Despite ongoing efforts to curb needlesticks among healthcare workers in the U.S., the incidence of needlesticks remains high. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that over 384,000 sharp injuries take place each year in hospital settings. This number does not account for needlesticks in emergency rooms, outpatient clinics, home-based care, nursing homes and other healthcare settings.

Additionally, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) estimates that 5.6 million workers in the healthcare industry and related occupations are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens including HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and up to twenty other infections. The CDC estimates that between 62 and 88 percent of sharps injuries can be prevented by using safer devices.

The NeedleTape® Solution

NeedleTape® provides an additional safety measure through its repeating safety identifier. Each NeedleTape® unit is die-cut specialty medical tape designed for fixating needles in various healthcare settings.

Blood Culture Bottle Sampling

Safety product categories

Blood Culture
Bottle Sampling

When the sample within a blood culture bottle is found to have a positive result, it is necessary to obtain samples from the bottle for further tests to ultimately identify the specific microorganism(s) and determine susceptibility to a range of antibiotics. This subculture process is typically done by using a needle and syringe or a venting needle. These processes pose the threat of accidental needlestick injury to the technologist at multiple stages in the procedure including

  • Prior to needle insertion into the culture bottle;
  • During needle insertion into the culture bottle;
  • After needle removal from the bottle.

In each of these steps a needle or sharp is exposed and an inadvertent injury can occur. With distractions and heavy workloads, accidents can easily happen so it is wise to remove sharps from a medical procedure whenever possible.  Safer Products are available to sample blood from culture bottles.

The Safety SubCulture Unit (SCU) is a sharps safety device used to obtain samples from positive blood culture bottles. Needleless sampling reduces risk of needlestick injury.

The plastic tip safely pierces the bottle septum and makes it easy to insert and remove from the culture bottle. The integrated filter cap controls gas or culture discharge for an added level of safety.

Sampling Options
Safety SubCulture Unit offers unique dispensing options for controlled sampling. The SCU sampling channel has been designed to dispense drops directly from a tilted culture bottle.

The female luer connection allows for needleless syringe draw and dispensing technique.

The Safety SubCulture Unit (SCU) has integrated safety for subculture procedures which:

  • Reduces the risk of injury because it is needleless
  • Reduces the risk of exposure from gaseous discharge

The SCU is compatible with a variety of culture bottles.
