The solution, H2NO, manages and helps dispose of waste fluid during a variety of medical procedures, and offers anti-fatigue properties with unique fluid channels that keep the clinician comfortable and safe.
DeRoyal Industries, Inc. announced today their latest patent, H2NO,
to safely collect and evacuate high fluid surgical cases in the OR.
Currently the problem is any arthroscopic procedure can produce high
volumes of fluid runoff and creates the challenge to regulate how much
spills over the drapes and onto the floor. This challenge can put the
operating room personnel at risk for a fall incident during surgery.
Post-surgery personnel are also at risk of fall injury, exposure or
other injury during clean up and turnover of the operating room. The
solution, H2NO, manages and helps dispose of waste fluid during a
variety of medical procedures, and offers anti-fatigue properties with
unique fluid channels that keep the clinician comfortable and safe.
Historically,
DeRoyal has entrepreneurial foundations and patents have always been a
part of the DNA of the company. According to company President &
C.O.O. Bill Pittman: “while this is a great invention, I’m most proud of
the fact that two more DeRoyal employees now have contributed to our
patent arsenal! Year-to-date, six DeRoyal employees have been awarded
their first patent including folks in our software development group,
supply chain and marketing. We are striving to build a culture whereby
we bring out the creativity of all of our employees regardless of their
assignment.”
