TechnoCut Plus® Safety Scalpel

The TechnoCut Plus® Safety Scalpel is truly a new generation innovation.
The traditional scalpel with a disposable blade is not without risk or safety: The attaching to or removing of the blade from the scalpel handle is a manual and rather cumbersome process, often resulting in injury. While there is an obvious risk to the nurse or doctor, the less obvious risk is that to the patient. If a nurse, surgeon or assistant is accidentally cut during the procedure, the patient is placed at significant risk.

  • Passing of a used scalpel with an exposed blade between a surgeon and theatre nurse is risky and any lapse in concentration can result in injury.
  • Blade protruding from sharps bins can also result in unnecessary injury.
  • Mislaid or dropped scalpel blades place all healthcare workers at risks.

Safety PICC Introducer

Safety Product Category

Safety PICC Introducer

A Safety PICC introducer is used to introduce a peripherally inserted central catheter into the vasculature of a patient. As the needle is removed a blunt obturator comes out of the sharp end thus minimizing the chance for unintentional needlestick.

Safety PICC Catheter Kit

Safety Product Category

Safety PICC Catheter Kit

Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are frequently used to obtain central venous access for patients in acute care, home care and skilled nursing care. PICCs are a reliable alternative to short-term central venous catheters, with a lower risk of complications. A Safety PICC kit contains safety components that minimize needlestick injury and prevent blood-borne pathogen exposure.

Safety Needle Recapping Devices

Safety Product Category

Safety Needle Recapping Device

The Bloodborne pathogen standard only permits recapping of contaminated needles under very specific and limited circumstances where no alternative is feasible, or that such action is required by a specific medical procedure, such as with incremental doses of medication or the injection of radioactive materials. When recapping must be performed, it must be accomplished by the use of a mechanical device or one-handed technique. Training must emphasize the need to use this as a one-handed recapping device.

Point-Lok® Device

Point-Lok® devices provide effective protection for needles from 16 – 30g that do not have an integral engineered sharps injury protection (ESIP) device. It is available seperately, or cane be packaged in Portex® Arterial Blood Sampling kits, pain management and other procedural trays.

Product Features

  • Stand-alone needle protection device designed to lock onto and secure a contaminated needle.
  • Meets the Federal Register definition of an Engineering Control
