"AORN Guidelines provide guidance for establishing and maintaining a sterile field. The creation and maintenance of a sterile field can directly influence patient outcomes. Adherence to aseptic practices by all individuals involved in surgical interventions aids in fulfilling the professional responsibility to protect patients from injury. Aseptic practices are implemented pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative to minimize wound contamination and reduce patient risks for surgical site infections."   
AORN Guidelines for Maintaining a Sterile and Sterile Technique

Wound Protector Retractors - Prevents Cross Contamination

Picture
The Medtronic (Covidien) wound protector/retractor

  • Circumferential elastic retraction maximizes the working area for better exposure and visualization
  • Additional exposure is achievable with the addition of the retraction ring
Optimal Wound Protection & Superior Strength
  • Protects wounds at the incision site with 3x stronger film material than Alexis™* wound protector/retractor, with the same material thickness1
  • Keeps incision moist and protects against contamination
Easy to Roll Down & Fast To Use
  • The proximal blue ring is not only easier to roll down compared to Alexis™* O, but can also be rolled down by just one person3
  • The flexible distal grey ring is inserted through the incision in seconds and easily removed at the end of a procedur

Retraction Ring for Increased Wound Exposure
  • Large and Extra Large sizes are available with a Retraction Ring
  • The SurgiSleeve™ wound protector with retraction ring provides greater retraction and visibility vs. standard wound protector

 CleanCision
WOUND PROTECTOR AND IRRIGATION SYSTEM
​www.cleancision.com/

CleanCisionTM
A novel, first-in-class, advanced intraoperative infection control system, developed by surgeons and infection control experts, to attack and defend against the most pervasive sources of surgical site infection.
Readily incorporated into surgical and infection reduction protocols, only CleanCision has been shown to reverse pre-existing contamination1, fight and remove intraoperative contamination1 and suppress bacterial proliferation2 after incision closure.

BACTISURE - Bactisure Wound Lavage is used to remove debris, including microorganisms, from wounds using pulsed (jet) lavage. The clear, colorless, low-odor solution is a FDA 510(K) cleared device. Active ingredients include ethanol (solvent), acetic acid (pH modifier), sodium acetate (buffer), benzalkonium chloride (surfactant), and water. Product is available in sterile 1000 mL polypropylene plastic bags with an integrated single spike port.

A New Approach to Biofilm Removal Bacteria can produce Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) to shield themselves from both mechanical and chemical attack. Bactisure Wound Lavage was specifically designed to remove these structurally resistant forms of bacteria. Our solution physically deconstructs the protective EPS matrix, making bacteria more susceptible to traditional antibiotics and the body’s normal defense mechanisms. Indicated for Use on All Wound Types • Apply just prior to wound closure using Zimmer Biomet Pulsavac® Plus or similar pulsed lavage system. • Immediately rinse with an equal amount of normal saline using pulsed lavage. • Not intended for repeated use. • Not indicated for use during dressing changes or for use by soaking the product into dressings. • Do not use if there is a history of allergy to any of the ingredients. Does Not Harm Human Tissue* • Safe for use – NAMSA Toxicology Report1 • Non-irritant – ISO Intramuscular Implantation Test with Histopathology2 • Normal wound healing – Porcine Dermal Testing3
