A waterless hand scrub, thermal scrub undershirts, compact barcoded labels and more


Surgicept from CareFusion
No more sticky, tacky build-up on your hands when you use this waterless surgical hand scrub. The lack of greasy residue eliminates the need to towel dry hands, makes glove donning easier and does away with glove slippage, says the company, which adds that the product's soothing feel, quick drying time and ease of application could increase hand hygiene compliance. Surgicept contains emollients that counteract the drying properties of alcohol, which helps protect your hands during surgery, says the company. Surgicept is applied in 2 minutes, exceeds the FDA's formulation requirements and kills 99.99% of bacteria in vitro in 15 seconds. www.carefusion.com

iRIScope 2.0 from Mobile Aspects
This RFID-enabled endoscope storage cabinet makes it easier to use and reprocess flexible endoscopes, says the company. The cabinets can accommodate wider ranges of flexible endoscope quantities, are tall enough to hold and drain longer colonoscopes, and feature reduced cabinet depth and French doors so staff can remove and return scopes more efficiently. Cabinets are also positive-pressurized with filtered air to maintain the high-level disinfection of reprocessed scopes, says Mobile. The RFID tracking feature alerts you when too much time has passed between endoscope reprocessing and usage. www.mobileaspects.com

Ambient ArthroWand from ArthroCare
This new portfolio of radiofrequency devices for arthroscopy gives your orthopedic surgeons accurate, real-time temperature monitoring of circulating fluid in the operative environment. The Ambient Collection includes the Ambient Super MultiVac 50, Super TurboVac 90, CoVac 50 and CoVac 70. When these radiofrequency devices are used with ArthroCare's Quantum 2 Controller System, surgeons can view real-time temperature measurements of the saline fluid used in shoulder and knee arthroscopy. Surgeons can set visual and audible alarms on the wands to alert them when the temperature reading reaches a certain point and to remind them to check and adjust flow and suction rates during the procedure. www.arthrocare.com

Thermal Scrub Undershirt from undORwear
Tired of freezing in the OR? Dubbed "warmth you can wear," undORwear is made of a breathable, soft and moisture-wicking material that provides you an irritation-free, moisture-wicking solution comfortable enough to wear all day. UndORwear's V-neck design mimics that of a scrub top, making it undetectable under a standard OR top. Available in sizes XS-XXL. $34.95 www.undorwear.com

SecureFit Medical Face Masks from Crosstex
Are loose-fitting surgical masks a problem in your ORs? The SecureFit Medical Face Mask lets you quickly and easily adjust the mask for a more secure and customized fit and a greater level of protection, says the company. SecureFit masks are available in all 3 ASTM performance (fluid resistance/filtration) classifications: SecureFit Isofluid - ASTM Low Performance; SecureFit Procedural - ASTM Moderate Performance; and SecureFit Ultra - ASTM High Performance. A recent study, published in the September 2010 issue of the American Journal of Infection Control, found that a tighter-fitting mask may offer more than 100-fold greater infection control benefit than standard, loose-fitting masks. www.crosstex.com

EPS Square LiquiDose Labels from Medi-Dose
Trying to scan 1-D (linear) bar codes can be frustrating on small or irregularly shaped containers because the entire bar code is hindered by the curvature of the container and therefore not visible at one time. These square labels were designed to help make bar-code scanning easier for small or irregularly shaped items and containers. When used with Medi-Dose's MILT 3.0 software, the Square LiquiDose Labels can be printed with complete medication identification and a comprehensive bar code. Square labels come in 3 sizes — 1.00", 1.33" and 2.66" — for either laser or direct thermal printers. www.medidose.com
