😷Why is a Nil By Mouth hospital wristband so important?😷 An increasing number of surgical operations are often delayed or cancelled due to the patient eating or drinking before surgery. The cancellation of any surgical procedure will often distress the patients who are already anxious about coming to theatre. The knock-on effect will cause delays and a loss of revenue to the hospital. It was a pleasure to work with Wayne on the concept and design of the NIL BY MOUTH wristband. We quickly finalised designs, materials and fastenings for this innovative product and put the whole thing into production. Have an idea for a product that could revolutionise patient safety?

To address this issue, the World Health Organisation (WHO) introduced the Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) as a means to decrease complications and fatalities during surgery. Nurses play a critical role in ensuring patient safety throughout the operation. A clear understanding of the checklist promotes effective communication within the surgical team, fosters a safety culture, and reduces complications.
