Evo Design recently completed development of the BD Safety Knife, a surgical safety handle for ophthalmic applications. The BD Safety Knife has a movable guard that can be retracted to expose the blade when in use and extended to cover the blade when not in use, including a pushback prevention mechanism to ensure the blade is covered until manually exposed. The new, patented design protects the nurse and surgeon during the eye procedure and handling and is the first of its kind in this category. If all appropriate protocols are followed, no hospital personnel will be cut by scalpels. Unfortunately, accidental cuts of hospital personnel do occur for a variety of reasons, usually because the physician and assistant are concentrating on the patient and the procedure being performed, and may not pay close attention to the scalpels. When used properly the BD Safety Knife can eliminate the threat of sustaining an accidental sharps injury during the procedure.
