Bolton Surgicalhas announced the launch of Mitt-Mat Child. Following the success of the Mitt-Mat Adult launch last year, the company received many requests from customers for a child size.
Following successful clinical evaluation Bolton Surgical has now started production of the child size.
Mitt-Mat is the alternative to lead hands and its fully encapsulated lead core eliminates the lead and lead salts contamination risks associated with lead hands.
A recent clinical study confirmed that handling a lead hand during surgery results in deposition of lead on the surgeon’s gloves. This may be responsible for the wound inflammation seen occasionally in patients. This risk can be minimised by covering the lead hand with an impervious drape.
