Sounds like something the Qlicksmart scalpel blade removers can help with 🤔

The AORN Guideline for Prevention of Unintentionally Retained Surgical Items is now a living guideline, continuously updated as new evidence emerges to keep recommendations current.

The revised guideline includes updated recommendations for team communication, standardized counting practices, retained device prevention, adjunct technologies, discrepancy resolution, ambulatory surgery, and quality improvement - helping perioperative teams strengthen patient safety and reduce the risk of retained surgical items.

Review the proposed updates and share your feedback during the public comment period, now through August 31: https://bit.ly/4hcWMHS

In case you forgot World Hepatitis Day was last month

This year Australia’s World Hepatitis Day theme was ‘take the next step’.

The top three blood borne diseases contracted from scalpel injuries are Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV.

Chronic Hepatitis B and C are the world’s leading cause of liver cancer. More than 1.3 million people die because of hepatitis B or C each year – that’s the most of any communicable disease.

Waiting months for blood test results, can be a nerve-wracking, anxiety-inducing experience. The anxiety surrounding a sharps injury and potential loss of income can directly affect those in close contact with a victim too – especially if the victim supports a household.

Scalpel injuries have been known to cost medical institutions valuable staff, and up to millions of dollars in treatment and ongoing costs. Evidently, if a scalpel injury is not correctly reported and treated, it can change and even endanger a person’s life.

Each year, there are nearly two million new cases of Hepatitis. Take the next step and take control. Using engineered single handed scalpel blade removers is the most effective and safest way to remove and contain scalpel blades, creating a safer work environment for everyone.

Qlicksmart… and be safe 💙
