CHATSWORTH, CA - In a continued effort to develop environmentally sustainable products, Sandel is now offering their bio-degradable TIME OUT Beacon™ sterile through all direct and distribution channels. 

The New Non-Woven TIME OUT Beacon™ provides hospitals with a cost-effective tool to increase patient safety and reduce the risk of wrong-site, wrong-procedure and wrong-patient surgery.

The bright "safety" orange beacon boldly displays TIME OUT® across the surface and is designed to be placed near the operative site, instrument tray, mayo stand or back table to prompt the verification process. This unique reminder is just another tool in the family of TIME OUT® safety products, joining the TIME OUT Sleeve™, TIME OUT Hood™ and Cotton TIME OUT Beacon™.
