Keep the room out of the patient: Low-lint solutions for better surgical outcomes


Wednesday, June 22nd, 2022 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

Cotton fiber embolization can occur during various heart and vascular procedures, causing serious patient complications. The risk of complications will only increase as procedures become more complex and clinicians treat higher-acuity patients.

To increase the safety of diagnostic and interventional procedures, it is important to eliminate cotton-based manufactured products from the procedural workflow. This webinar will explore the methods, processes and tools hospitals are leveraging to decrease lint and contamination during surgical procedures for better patient outcomes.

Learning points:
  • How to define the cellulose-based components used in surgeries, such as granulomas and adhesions, driving up hospital costs
  • How to reduce counting mistakes
  • Best practices, processes, tools and teams being implemented to reduce contamination during surgical procedures
  • How to start, continue or expand linting and contamination reduction during surgical procedures
