What Makes A Magnetic Drape A Good Assistant in the Operating Room

Providing safety in the opearting room is one of the primary goals of any healthcare insitution. A high risk of sharps injuries, glove tear, and contamination (incidents) makes the operating room a zone of increased risk of exposure to biological hazards. Surgeons and operating room personnel are at highest risk of blood infections transmitted by blood borne pathogens due to sharps injuries. Тo prevent sharps injuries expert healthcare organisations recommend to use a Neutral/Hands-Free zone for passing sharp instruments.

A magnetic drape is a good way to designate a neutral zone in the operating room. Round magnets of the magnetic drape hold tightly sharp surgical instruments and surgeons can pick them up right from a sterile drape thus avoiding hand to hand transfer of the sharps. Besides strond magnets prevent surgical instruments from falling off onto the floor.

SurgStore magnetic drapes are made of elastic material and conform to any surface securely due to non-slip foamed backing. SurgeStore magnetic drapes can be ETO or steam sterilized.
