Viscot Medical – Green Initiatives

East Hanover, NJ – [February 24], 2012 –  Go green while saving green with Viscot!

Viscot Medical, a global leader in surgical skin marking devices for over 38 years has made recent advances in environmentally responsible products.

This small, veteran owned business has released several marker products designed to reduce waste and potentially improve patient safety.

Their green initiatives include the following:

Mini markers sized appropriately for single patient use not only help to eliminate cross contamination, but they significantly reduce waste by up 50% when compared to a full size marker.

These economical minis are available in both traditional skin marking ink and the first prep resistant ink, successful in millions of clinical trials.

The Dual Tip marker combines traditional skin marking ink on one side and Viscot’s waterproof, permanent ink on the other. Consolidating both a skin and label marker ink into one marker, therefore eliminating the waste of discarding two markers versus one dual tip marker.

Their Twin Tip Markers give you two fresh tips on one marker. The Blephmarker™ has two soft, ultrafine tips, while the 1425 Twin Tip offers two different types of tips- a fine/reg tip on one side and an ultrafine tip on the opposite side. Combining two tips in one marker potentially eliminates having to open a second or third marker on the operative field. Therefore reducing waste and improving OR flow.

Viscot is committed to help reducing waste and improving clinical outcomes. Something as simple as changing from a single tip to a twin tip or a full size to a mini marker can make the world of difference.

 Join Viscot Medical in going green!

The FIRST Prep Resistant Surgical Marker

NEW SURIGICAL SKIN MARKER LASTING 10 TIMES LONGER THAN TRADITIONAL MARKERS INTRODUCED BY VISCOT MEDICAL

Marker improves patient safety and enables greater compliance with recommended protocols

East Hanover, NJ – [March 29], 2009 – A new surgical skin marker that lasts 10 times longer than traditional skin markers even after pre-operative scrubbing with common alcohol-based antiseptics such as Chloraprep or Duraprep has been introduced by Viscot Medical LLC.

The new Mini XL, features patent-pending ink that remains visible after scrubbing with prep solutions, allowing clinicians to better see the surgical site as recommended by the Joint Commission Protocol for Correct Site Marking. Additionally, it will virtually eliminate the need for remarking of the patient once they’re in the operating room for plastic surgery procedures.

Surgical site marking and preoperative verification have gained greater attention in the surgical arena, as demonstrated by the “sign your site” campaign developed by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.  At the same time the use of appropriate antiseptic agents to prevent surgical skin infections is highly recommended, including by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“This Mini XL will help surgeons and other clinicians potentially prevent wrong site surgery by resisting common alcohol based prep solutions that are being used in the operating room. This is a significant advancement in Surgical Skin Marking according to Gary Pieringer, Viscot Medical president.  “The Mini XL is a new tool for clinicians that will help improve surgical outcomes, reduce the potential for wrong site surgical errors and will help save lives”.

“We haven’t just doubled the time the surgical mark remains visible, we’ve increased it ten-fold.  We have solved the major problem of surgical skin marking ink easily being removed with common prep solutions”.

Viscot Medical introduced the Mini XL (#1450XL) at the Annual Operating Room Nurses Congress (AORN) show in Chicago March 17-19. The Mini XL is available non-sterile in quantities of 200 or 1,000.
