Benefits

  • April 1999 CDC Guidelines recommend that if hair removal is required, the use of a surgical clipper immediately before an operation is one means to help reduce the risk of surgical site infections.
  • Removes all types of head and body hair, wet or dry, to allow for standardization on one product for all hair removal needs.
  • Unique design allows flexibility of clipping with either a pushing or a pulling motion.
  • The cutting blade is on top of the stationary blade, away from the skin, so there's minimal risk of nicks or cuts.
  • Single-use blades help reduce the risk of cross-contamination and are easy to snap on for use and pop off for disposal.
  • Rechargeable clipper has a nickel metal hydride battery, allowing multiple patients to be clipped from a single 12-14 hour recharge.
  • Unique design is easy to clean and disinfect, wipe with a disinfectant or rinse under running water.

    Suggested Applications

  • Removing head and body hair from patients in preparation for procedures where hair removal is desired.
