Exclusively available from Cardinal Health, SmartGown EDGE Breathable Surgical Gown with ASSIST Instrument Pockets is the first surgical gown with instrument pockets. Invented by Mayo Clinic surgeons and designed in collaboration with Cardinal Health, SmartGown EDGE was created to provide surgical teams with safe and convenient instrument access in the operating room. SmartGown EDGE is made with chest pockets that can keep frequently used surgical instruments* within easy reach while surgeons and clinicians operate across complex sterile fields. The gown’s unique design, featuring two pockets and one holster, helps minimize potential contamination and unintentional instrument drops outside the sterile area. It may also help to reduce instrument handoffs or exchanges during a procedure.
*Sharp, hot, heavy or long instruments should not be placed in the pockets or holster.
