When we saw the challenges you encounter keeping track and ensuring the quality of abdominal sponges and swabs, we came up with a bright idea: Fluro-Tec®.
When we saw the challenges you encounter keeping track and ensuring the quality of abdominal sponges and swabs, we came up with a bright idea: Fluro-Tec®.
Designed to stand out — Fluro-Tec® provides a simple, effective solution to make intra-operative detection easier and less stressful, complementing your processes designed to eliminate the risk of retained surgical swabs and sponges.
FLURO-TEC® STORY
A bright idea
Intra-operative detection — Fluro-Tec® swabs and sponges contain a fluorescent, non-absorbent green-yellow thread to make a blood soaked Fluro-Tec® 9.5 times more visible# to the naked eye and even more detectable under UV light.
Extra protection against 'never events' — all our Fluro-Tec® sponges and swabs use fluorescent stitching and are x-ray detectable, ensuring effective post-operative detection.
FEATURES
Quality construction
Inter-woven
Separate x-ray threads are woven between weft and warp threads.
Patented Bonding Process
Multigate XRD threads are made using a patented melt and weave process to ensure no threads are left behind.
Highly Absorbent
Our sponges and swabs can absorb up to nine times their own weight in fluids. Helping to maintain a clear operating field.
A review of our sponge portfolios identified that a simple product change can deliver significant environmental and other clinical performance benefits.
MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE
Environmental benefits
Environmental benefits
A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of our abdominal sponges conducted by Lifecycles, revealed that you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and lifecycle water usage simply by switching from our cotton sponges to our composite sponges.
During this course you will learn about the role swabs and abdominal sponges play in procedures, the key features and benefits of Fluro-Tec® products and how they can complement your existing processes to deliver better patient outcomes.
