1. AirFlow positioning. AirFlow positioning pads provide an effective and economical solution for safe patient alignment during surgery. The foam prevents pressure sores and nerve or ligament damage for a patient under anesthesia. The air channels allow for increased airflow.

2. Cattails channel brushes. These brushes have a pull-through design to increase the amount of brushing without buckling. The Cattails brush can be used on all laparoscopic and cannulated stainless steel instruments.

3. Cygnus Medical TravelKit. The travel kit is used for endoscopic pre-cleaning with a containment bag. The kit helps prevent clogged scope channels and biofilm build-up so channels and insertion tubes are well cleaned. The bag identifies which scopes are still soiled.

4. Cygnus Medical positioning. The Cygnus positioning pads come in myriad shapes and sizes to provide alignment and support during surgery. The positioning products are non-latex, non-toxic and fire retardant.

5. Instrument care/lubricant. Cygnus offers a variety of detergents and lubricants for different needs. These products include adhesive remover, instrument lubricant, rust and stain remover and foaming spray for bioburdens.

6. Fiber-free cleaning system. The fiber-free cleaning products contain a filament micro-denier polyester fabric to enhanced absorbency and contamination pick up. The system drastically reduces the amount of particles left after cleaning.

7. OR set up kit. The OR set-up kit includes the fiber-free cleaning system, a transfer sheet, an operating room table sheet, head positioning and arm board cover, laundry and municipal waste bags and a kick bucket for increased efficiency and infection control.

8. Restore rust and stain remover. The Restore system brings shine back to stainless steel instruments for better performance and longevity. The cleaner is neutral pH that removes corrosion, rust, stains and sediment from instrument joints.

9. Simple2 enzymatic detergent. Simple2 is a multi-enzyme solution that dissolves blood, fat, protein, tissue and organic materials. It is neutral pH, low-foaming, non-toxic, latex-free and safe for surgical instruments.
