Hill-Rom launches new line of safety-focused surgical instruments

Hill-Rom has announced the launch of a new line of Bard Parker surgical instruments designed to provide improved standards of safety.

The new offerings include the Bard Parker range of weighted SafeSwitch Disposable Scalpel Handles, which provide surgeons with the ability to safely retract, pass and disarm surgical blades in one step, using only one hand.

These handles are compatible with a wide range of blades and sizes, expanding the Hill-Rom range of surgical tools to fit a wider variety of needs and preferences.

Additionally, the company is launching the Bard Parker Blade Remover, which allows surgical team members to safely remove up to five contaminated blades without the need to touch them directly.

The clear lid allows used blades to be easily counted, while its adhesive backing means it can be attached to any surface, including drapes.

Francisco Canal, president of Hill-Rom Surgical Solutions, said: "Helping to prevent injuries and associated bloodborne pathogen exposure for surgeons and clinical staff during surgical procedures is of critical importance and the driving motivation behind Hill-Rom's innovations."
