Welcome to BCG Medical

ANNOUNCEMENT : BCG Medical  launched  the Opt-Sheet™ MAJOR, patent-pending, a surgical bed sheet with arm protection for surgical patients in February, 2012.  

Test Trial Complete:

Our recently completed test-trial at a major hospital in San Diego was a huge success.  The feedbacks were overwhelmingly positive.  All test users expressed interest in using the Opt-Sheet™ for cases that may require tucking the patient’s arms to the operating table in preparing the patient for surgery.

“With the Opt-Sheet™  positioning patient for surgery has just become so easy… and much safer, too.”

Opt-Sheet™ LITHOTOMY, Opt-Sheet™PRONE, and Opt-Sheet™ LATERAL, Opt-Sheet™ AMBULATORY  are currently in production and will be available soon.

Benefits:

• Reduces risk of ulnar nerve injuries with the patent-pending double-layer fastening system on the Opt-Sheet™.  Padding is always there when needed.  Patient arms are cradled and lifted away from the operating room table surface,  reducing the risk of pressure on the ulnar nerves.
• Reduces skin pressure at  critical areas  during long surgeries with padding.
• Reduces the risk of back injury to the nursing staff.  Moving a heavy patient from bed-to-bed is a breeze with a built-in sliding system by combination of special fabric and handle system.
• Reduces staffing requirement during positioning the patient in preparation for surgery.
• Functions like  a  “tool-belt” with Multiple Velcro® straps and pockets allowing the anesthesiologist  secure I.V.’s, central lines and suction tubing.  These may help reduce infections and aspiration risk.
• Reduces self-injury during waking up from anesthesia (corneal abrasion).  The Opt-Sheet™ softly holds their arms and  reduces the risks of eye injuries or displacing the I.V.’s until the patient is fully awake.  The Opt-Sheet™ is not intended to be used as a patient-restraint device in awake patients.
• Secures the Opt-Sheet™ to the operating table with buckles to reduce the risk of the patient sliding off the operating table during surgery in extreme positions, i.e. side tilt, head up or head down (reverse-Trendelenburg or Trendelenburg positions).
• Fits both the operating table and the transporting gurney, which may reduce some laundry cost to the hospitals
