Clinician Perspectives: C-Armor Drape

May 03, 2024 9:00 AM
wave-up-revised-01

    C-Armor Drape for Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs)

    Today’s ambulatory surgery centers strive to succeed in a landscape fraught with challenges, including staffing shortages and rising expenses. To help ASCs keep pace with growing market demand for their services while still maintaining quality of care and containing costs, TIDI Products offers field-proven, standardized product solutions engineered to save time, streamline workflow, and provide clinician confidence.

    One such solution, our patented C-Armor® Drape (shown below), is an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-retract protective barrier designed to maintain the integrity of the sterile surgical field during procedures with multiple C-arm swings.

    In addition to safeguarding the sterile field, use of this innovative medical device is intended to improve staff efficiency and save time in the operating room. Typically, only a single C-Armor Drape is required per case, no matter how many times the C-arm position is changed.

    C-Armor Drape: User Survey Round 1

    To gain a clearer understanding of the impact the C-Armor Drape can have in the operating room, TIDI Products conducted a case study over a period of several months at three different ambulatory surgery centers located in the upper Midwest. During the study, the ASCs performed more than 100 spine, orthopaedic, urology, and pain management (neuromodulation) surgeries using the C-Armor Drape.

    Several weeks into the study, we asked 24 clinicians at two participating facilities, a physician-owned ASC in Michigan and a corporate-owned ASC in Wisconsin, to rate their perceptions of the C-Armor Drape regarding an array of potential performance benefits. Among the items in the survey were evaluative statements pertaining to time savings, improvements in staff efficiency, and confidence provided by the product.

    About 90% of the clinicians expressing an opinion either agreed or strongly agreed with each of the statements below.

    Clinician comments from ASC User Survey Round 1:

    “The attached C-Armor Drape allows for efficient lateral imaging due to the placement, minimal effort, and minimal resources required to perform the swing through lateral.”

    “We use the C-Armor Drape when we will be doing a lot of lateral x-rays. Makes it very convenient with the [hook-and-loop fastener] instead of using a 3/4 sheet like we have been doing.”

     

    C-Armor Drape: User Survey Round 2

    Later in the case study, 26 clinicians at all three participating facilities (the two ambulatory surgery centers in Michigan and Wisconsin as well as a corporate-owned ASC in Ohio) were asked to complete another user survey. Once again, respondents rated their perceptions of the C-Armor Drape in relation to a range of potential performance benefits, such as time savings, improvements in staff efficiency, and confidence provided by the product.

    Ratings associated with several of the evaluative statements in the survey are presented below.

    Clinician comments from ASC User Survey Round 2:

    “I like the… C-Armor Drape. I think it does save time and moves things along more efficiently.”

    “Good product that fills the need for which it was created more comprehensively than other methods.”
