The SANDEL Z-Friction Drape™ helps healthcare professionals establish a neutral zone—a previously agreed-upon location on the sterile field where sharps are placed from which the surgeon or scrub can retrieve them. This flexible, non-skid device is an easy and practical way to help keep instruments from falling off the sterile field and to comply with EU directives. The bright orange color provides a designated area in which to place sharps and minimize contact with them at the same time. It promotes hands-free transfer of sharps—a proven method of reducing the incidence of sharps injuries.
