High Patient Safety With Single-Use Devices4,5

 

The adoption of the single use devices delivered in Alcon Custom-Pak® helps minimise post-operative complications for patients undergoing cataract surgery.4 With single use devices, surgeons can also expect improved surgical performance compared to reusable devices.5

A table showing observations during site visits at 54 centres with diagnosed cases of toxic anterior segment syndrome.     89% of centres had inadequate flushing of phaco and I/A handpieces.   80% of centres used enzymatic cleaners and detergents.   69% of centres used reusable cannulas.    65% of centres had inadequate or no manual cleaning of instruments.   52% of centres reused single use devices such as blades, tips and sleeves.
