Re: OR Lasers, Info Please
Thanks to you all for your input....I knew I could depend on Allnurses.com!!!!!
You've all brought up questions that have gone thru our minds as well.
One problem, is this "company" is the only one currently that can supply us with the High Power (HP) Green Light laser for prostates.
I really like this laser. Compaired to the old way of doing TUR-P's, with electrocautery, it is great!! Less blood loss, faster, and less time with foley's post op. It's really nice.
Lucky for us, these fibers are one time use, and packaged by the company, so we have no issues.
The rep. tried to tell me the other day that glasses weren't really needed any longer!!! (it's always something with this bunch!!)
I told him, give everyone in the room glasses until he can prove to me in writing otherwise! Even then, I would have to work it thru our P&P Committee, etc. first.
To me this would be a major shake up in the world of laser safety, and I hope that I've not missed it!
