Scrub Nurses & Surgical Techs
Scrub nurses and surgical techs play key roles in the operating room. As part of the surgical team, D-H.E.L.P.® solves many common visualization issues you often encounter. With our innovative solution, you can effectively prevent fogging and keep the laparoscopic lens clear while insuring a proper white balance from start to close. There is no need to keep open basins of hot water and no unnecessary delays when cleaning the camera lens.
Most importantly, D-H.E.L.P. can help you provide improved patient care during surgery.
The Problem | The Solution |
| LENS FOGGING Laparoscope lens becomes fogged when moved between cool operating room and warm body cavity upon initial insertion and reinsertions. | Advanced Laparoscopic Care Kit with D-H.E.L.P.® anti-fogging solution warms the scope lens above body temperature to prevent fogging. D-H.E.L.P. will remain warm for up to 5 hours. |
| TISSUE/FLUIDS ON LENS Dried-on body fluids and tissue collect on the laparoscopic lens during surgery compromising visualization and requiring laparoscope lens cleaning. | The Advanced Laparoscopic Care Kit with D-H.E.L.P. warmed anti-fogging solution of surfactant and water breaks down fats and washes fluids and tissues from lens in just 5 seconds. |
| ROBOTIC CLEANING When the Robotic Scope lens is dirty, the scope is often removed from the abdomen, removed from the robotic arm and walked back to a basin to be cleaned and then reattached to robotic arm, and reinserted into the abdomen taking several minutes. | Advanced Laparoscopic Care Kit with D-H.E.L.P. with it’s unique design can be brought up to the camera so it doesn’t need to removed from the robotic arm. The camera lens is then inserted into the D-H.E.L.P. with the surfactant and water solutions cleans the lens in just five seconds!!! It should be also noted there is NO alcohol in the anti fogging solution. (Note: Our system cannot white balance the Intuitive da Vinci scope.) |
| WHITE BALANCING Other Systems do not White balance the scope. Therefore when the scope is White Balanced before insertion the lens can cool and potentially create fogging when inserted into the body. | Advanced Laparoscopic Care Kit with D-H.E.L.P. allows for white balancing while lens is warmed in D-H.E.L.P. to avoid lens cooling/fogging. Upon insertion the camera gives consistent, true white balance for realistic color and optimum visualization. |
| TISSUE/FLUIDS IN TROCAR Positive pressure in the insufflated cavity allows body fluids to collect inside sleeve of trocar port and soil the camera lens upon reinsertion. | Use the Advanced Laparoscopic Care Kit with D-H.E.L.P. system TrocarWipe® to clean fluid and/or tissue inside sleeve of trocar. This prevents clean camera lens from being compromised, saving time and adding efficiency to the case. |
| FIRE HAZARD Guidelines state that the camera must be placed on standby when removed from the abdomen for a period of time. | With the Advanced Laparoscopic Care Kit with D-H.E.L.P., laparoscope can be inserted into D-H.E.L.P. without requiring the camera to be placed on standby when not in use. |
| SCRATCHED LENSES Traditional cleaning methods using surgical gauze can scratch valuable lenses adding to repair cost. | With more than 200,000 strands per sq. in., soft MicroPad® will not scratch lenses which can reduce maintenance and repair costs. |
| OPERATING ROOM COSTS Numerous supplies and products can be required to defog and clean surgical lens. | Advanced Laparoscopic Care Kit with D-H.E.L.P. system replaces all other defogging/cleaning products. |
| TIME MANAGEMENT Traditional laparoscope lens cleaning with water bath and surgical gauze is time consuming. | Advanced Laparoscopic Care Kit with D-H.E.L.P. eliminates water bath and gauze providing effective lens cleaning in just 5 seconds. The antifogging liquid is made up of a surfanctant and water to remove fluids/tissue from the lens. |
| AVOID OPEN WATER ON STERILE FIELD Traditional water bath methods used to clean laparoscope camera have a potential for spills of the heated water on patient, surgeon or nurse/tech. | The Advanced Laparoscopic Care Kit with D-H.E.L.P. unit with surfactant and self heating is self-contained and offers effective endoscope cleaning in 5 seconds. |
| STOCKING Other endoscope cleaning methods require multiple products and SKU’s. | The entire Advanced Laparoscopic Care Kit with D-H.E.L.P. system is only one SKU. |
