How to drape a surgical field?

Our dedicated product specialist and former OR nurse Montse Vigueras Garcia organized an informative and fun draping workshop at our head quarters in Soest, The Netherlands. We care to keep up-to-date with the latest developments and product uses in the operating theatre. This is the only way to give our customers the best on-site assistance and high level collaboration.

For the workshop we used a combination of reusable technical textiles and nonwoven drapes. The best of both worlds for more efficient and sustainable healthcare.

The training was not exclusively for our commercial team. It was a joint effort of multiple disciplines and departments; quality, production, purchase etc. A great way to combine team building and product training. We took some nice pictures for you to get a sneak peak of the workshop.

We launched our new S235 incision film! The wish of many has been heard and carefully considered, leading us to the presentation of an innovative incision film that will not let you down, not even in the toughest surgical conditions.

Our new Incision Film ensures optimal adherence to the skin without causing discomfort or irritation. The film forms a secure, yet gentle, barrier that protects the incision site from external contaminants, reducing the risk of infection and promoting a sterile environment.We have carefully selected a breathable and flexible material for the Incision Film, allowing for natural airflow and moisture management. The new S235 Incision Film is transparent, allowing healthcare professionals to monitor the incision site without the need for frequent dressing changes.

At Soest Medical Group, we remain committed to continuous improvement and innovation in the healthcare industry. The launch of our Incision Film underscores our dedication to transforming patient care, advancing wound healing, and improving outcomes for surgical patients worldwide.

We are pleased to announce that EUROTAPE b.v. entirely works under the regulations (EU) 2017/745 regarding the Medical Device Regulations. The MDR, or Medical Device Regulations, refers to a set of regulations implemented by the European Union (EU) to establish a comprehensive framework for the regulation of medical devices. The MDR replaced the previous Medical Device Directive (MDD) and came into effect on May 26, 2021.

The primary goal of the MDR is to ensure the safety, quality, and efficacy of medical devices while enhancing patient safety and harmonizing regulations across EU member states. The regulations apply to a wide range of medical devices, including surgical instruments, implants, diagnostic equipment, software, and more. The MDR represents a significant shift in the regulation of medical devices, with an increased focus on patient safety, transparency, and accountability. Compliance with the MDR is mandatory for all medical device manufacturers wishing to market their products within the European Union.
