Advanced Surgical Safety Scalpels: CooperSurgical and Feather Safeshield Solutions
In the specialized field of surgical instruments, the COOPER SURGICAL Plastic C Safe C-Section Safety Scalpel represents a significant advancement for hospital environments. As the latest addition to CooperSurgical's Labor & Delivery Portfolio, C SAFE helps eliminate the risk of fetal lacerations to newborns during Cesarean Section procedures.
The Design and Utility of C SAFE
The technical design of this instrument is focused on safety. C SAFE's specially designed distal tip ensures blunt entry into lower uterine segment while the shielded blade cuts up and away from the fetus. This is critical because fetal lacerations are a preventable injury that carry negative medical and economic consequences to the Obstetrician and hospital. Medical professionals are encouraged to consider C SAFE for your next Cesarean Section procedure because one fetal laceration is one too many.
