Dieble Instrument Organizer The Dieble instrument organizer was designed by an LPN surgical technician to replace the commonly used rolled towel. The organizer allows the efficient and orderly passing of instruments to and from the surgical field while also conserving space on the mayo stand and the back table.
In central supply, the instrument organizer provides a sensible and efficient way to organize, count and string instruments despite distractions and interruptions. Instruments can be preassembled and secured directly to the organizer will by a single stringer rod. This makes it possible for the instrument organizer to be picked up as a single unit and placed into the sterilization pan. In the operating room, the preassembled stand can be picked up and placed onto the back table. Remove the stringer rod and the instruments are ready for use. To move the stand, grasp the organizer on both sides and lift slightly keeping the tips of the instruments on the field. To move long distances, replace the stringer rod into the instruments handles and the holes located on the base of the stand.
The organizer is small enough to use on the mayo stand, keeping your instruments stable and orderly and increasing the speed and efficiency of instrument transfer during surgery. It also makes it possible for a seamless changeover of personnel during a case. Adjusting in the organizer is simple. Instruments can be moved to and from the base with ease by adding, removing, or sliding the clips from side to side. The Dieble organizer is designed to support a broad range of instruments and can be quickly adjusted should there be complications during the case.
No matter how many instruments are used, it will conserve space on the back table or mayo stand. The Organizer comes in two sizes. The small adjusts from 6-10 inches and the large from 12-22. No matter how simple or how complex the case may be the Dieble organizer is always the right tool for the job. |
