Swann-Morton exhibited at Medica again this year in their usual spot F65 located in Hall 13.

The event marked the formal launch of the new “KLEEN” Blade Management System. The blade is supplied sterile and encapsulated within a transparent BMS cartridge which is attached to the standard surgical handle using the traditional blade fitment. The protective sheath is then retracted down the handle during usage however it can be reengaged over the blade to ensure compliance with safe passing. At the end of the procedure the sheath is permanently reengaged and the BMS cartridge can be detached from the handle safely without any contact with the contaminated sharp. After the blade count it can be disposed of in an appropriate sharps container.
