MEGADYNE Awarded "Most Green Product" at AORN Congress
Megadyne was selected as the first recipient of the Most Green Product Award at AORN's inaugural Exhibitor Awards program held during its 56th Annual Congress. Congress attendees chose Megadyne from among 500 attendees for this recognition. AORN is a professional organization that provides education, standards of practice and peer-networking opportunities for the OR nurse.
"We recognize the importance of our stewardship to develop and provide products that help preserve and protect our environment. It is very rewarding to be recognized by AORN and the Congress attendees for our efforts," said Michael Hintze, Vice President of Marketing at Megadyne. "This acknowledgement reinforces our commitment to innovating, researching and developing electrosurgical products that deliver safety and performance while helping to eliminate waste."
Megadyne's green reusable and resposable products include the:
- Mega Soft® and Mega Soft Pediatric reusable patient return electrodes. One Megadyne Mega Soft reusable patient return electrode can eliminate, on average, 1,500 disposable sticky pads. In addition to decreasing waste, reusable and resposable technologies deliver savings to a facility's bottom line by reducing purchasing frequency and disposal cost.
- E-Z Pen™ Electrosurgical Pencil, the 12-time use E-Z Pen that produces 1/12th the waste of standard disposable electrosurgical pencils. The E-Z Pen uses patented technology to count the number of times the pencil has been used and then disables future use of the pencil once it has reached its end-of-life.
- Resposable Laparoscopic Electrodes with Indicator Shaft®, combines a reusable shaft with a disposable non-stick E-Z Clean electrode. The patented Indicator Shaft alerts clinicians when a breach in the insulation has occurred and it is no longer safe to use.
- Reusable Stainless Steel Laparoscopic Electrodes with Indicator Shaft, is a stainless steel instrument with the patented Indicator Shaft which alerts clinicians when a breach in the insulation has occurred and it is no longer safe to use
