Surgical procedures are improving daily, and they are becoming easier and safer with each operation. One company has revolutionized the surgical world with products that help the patient and the clinician while maintaining sharps safety. Sharps Fluidics with the Operative Armour Suture Needle Management System has provided clinicians with closure equipment that has minimized the possibility of needlestick injury and has reduced the potential for retaining foreign objects. Operative Armour is the first safety-engineered device enabling clinicians to close surgical incisions without the aid of a scrub technician. Sharp Fluidics also makes the operating room workflow more efficient because the surgeon is able to self-secure their needles during the closure.
The benefits of Operative Armour besides sharps safety are that it eliminates the passage and handling of exposed needles, and it eliminates the distractions of multitasking during counts. The surgeon or clinician is able to control the pace of the closure. Another benefit is that it improves the operating room workflow and labor efficiency.
Operative Armour’s products include the needle trap, the barrier kit, and the mini-mount. The needle trap provides standardized means to safely secure each suture needle at the surgical point. It also eliminates the possibility of contamination by reducing exposure through passage and handling. The barrier kit allows the clinician to self-dispense their own suture needles reducing the time it tasks for surgical closure. The mini-mount provides handheld means for dispensing and securing suture needles from the near surgical field.
Whatever field the surgeon or clinician works in, Operative Armour can improve each procedure for everyone involved, and to learn more about Operative Armour, visit Sharp Fluidics, LLC.
