Historically, the discussion of which products to use in a hospital has centered around disposable versus reusable products; however, new technology has produced a line of products that are not only disposable but degradable. Perioperative staff members at Redmond Regional Medical Center, Rome, Ga, participated in the testing, evaluation, and use of these prototype products during their development.
