t my hos-
pital, we
recycle
used solution bot-
tles to contain our
unruly cords. After
we empty and rinse
the bottles, we cut
off their tops and
bottoms and make
a slit down the side.
We then place the
cords through the
open bottles and
attach them to the
side of our OSI
table using tape.
The bottles are radiolucent, and work great when we need to keep
cords away from the bed for C-arm access.
