In a busy medical facility, there is one thing that is always occurring. There is always not enough people to help with every need there is. Many times, a busy nurse or provider needs to do things on his or her own without the help of support. This can make tasks such as using a suture needle hard to do. However, there are tools that can improve this, such as a suture station. How can this work, to improve the way you manage your facility?
What Can a Needle Do for You?
A suture needle is something you use each and every day. You have to use it to help your patients, but that does not mean the process is simple. A suture station may help. It is designed to help ensure that the user has the ability to self-dispense as well as secure those needles so as to reduce risk. It is best in situations where there is only the need to use a small number of such needles, and when there is a need for a bit of support.
What Can You Do to Minimize Risks?
When considering any type of needle use, there is also an ongoing need to reduce needle sticks. This happens very often and can be one of the biggest risks in any OR or any type of medical repair situation. However, with products such as barriers available, it may help to make this less common and, therefore, help to protect patients and caregivers at a much higher level.
When it comes to the suture needle you use, look for ways to minimize the risks present. Using a suture station or even a needle barrier may be a simple adjustment to the way you work, but it can offer significant benefits.
