Complies with AfPP Guidelines Swabsafe is designed to eliminate the risk posed to operating theatre personnel by the unhygienic and unnecessary handling of contaminated swabs. It also assists in accurate swab counting, reducing the risk of retained swabs in patients. Each Swabsafe container is divided into five sections. The scrub-practioner directly discards each dirty swab into an individual section. Once all five sections are used, the swab-tie is added to the Swabsafe container, then the lid is secured. |
