Pre-Operative Skin Preparation

Descriptions

The pre-operative skin preparation framework consists of the following product areas. Pre-operative razors are a double edge manual safety disposable razor which is non-sterile, products are made of strong plastic and are very robust in their construction. Each razor is single use only and can be disposed of in a clinical sharp’s container. Surgical skin marker pens are used where the surgical site is marked with an appropriate non-removal permanent marker system that can’t be removed during the lotion application by the surgical team. Products are ergonomically designed as a pen-like device with options of either sterile or non-sterile and the ink is Gentian Violet with either a regular or fine tip. Pre-operative scrub brushes are used in a systematic method of washing of the hands and forearms and scrubbing of fingernails using specially developed techniques and the most effective antibacterial cleansing agent available in order to render the hands and arms as free as possible from micro-organisms. Fixed head/pivoting surgical clippers are a single disposable blade system which attaches to a reusable electric handle. The blade system oscillates within its plastic housing providing a clean cut without skin trauma. Each disposable blade has only one side for shaving and can be disposed within the clinical waste container.
