SPECIAL ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT
This Marker Remains Visible,
Even After Scrubbing
If you're tired of marking the site and then re-marking it after
scrubbing with an alcohol-based prep, you'll love the XL Prep
Resistant Ink markers from Viscot. A special patent-pending ink
enables marks made with this pen to last 10 times as long as
traditional skin markers—even after scrubbing. That helps
prevent mistakes that can lead to wrong-site surgery, and it
complies with the Joint Commission Protocol for Correct Site
Marking. Also available, the XL Bold Tip marker. This full size
marker has a larger tip for marking greater surface areas as in
body contouring.

Keep Blood Clots At Bay With This
DVT-Prevention System
Reduce the risk of blood clots caused by deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) with the VasoPress™ System from Zimmer Biomet. The
system propels the venous blood out of the deep veins while
the patient is undergoing surgical procedures or is immobile for
an extended period of time. The pump is only 4.85 pounds and
is designed to conveniently attach to most footboards. Sleeves
come in a variety of sizes for placement on the calf, thigh or
foot. Additionally, sleeves are made of breathable fabric,
reducing heat build-up and a comfortable, secure fit.

representative, visit zimmerbiomet.com/surgical, use the

Patient Warming
This Blanket Warms AND Fights Infections
Reduce the risk of infection AND hypothermia with FilteredFlo
blankets from CSZ. For use before, during and after surgery,
they filter the air before it comes into contact with patients. This
minimizes the spread of possible contaminants. Combine
FilteredFlo blankets with CSZ's WarmAir warming system to
quietly and effectively maintain normothermia. WarmAir's
compact and lightweight frame makes moving the system easy.
High and low temperature alarms help keep patients safe.
