CENTRAL MEDICAL SUPPLIES (CMS), aspecialist supplier of medical equipment, has launched a new training video for its Swabsafe swab management system, which is now available.
Swabsafe is designed to eliminate the risk posed to operating theatre staff by the unnecessary handling of contaminated swabs and assist in accurate swab counting, to protect the patient. The new training video stresses the importance of effective swab management, outlines best practice and highlights the benefits of Swabsafe as a modern alternative to the swab rack.
The Swabsafe system complies with Health and Safety requirements and meets with the Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP) guidelines. The system is safe and hygienic, easy to use and environmentally friendly, as it is made from recyclable materials. The system reduces the risk of swab-counting errors; eliminates the handling of dirty swabs by theatre staff acting as circulators; makes swab weighing easier and improves patient safety.
