Creating safer healthcare environments for physician offices
Repertoire asked Mark Steele, executive vice president of Nuance Medical, how safety fits into customer conversations about the environment.
Repertoire: Is safety and the impact products and services have on the environment more part of the conversation with customers? And if so, how?
Mark Steele: Yes, reducing chemical exposure to healthcare workers, patients and the environment is an absolute point of emphasis to Nuance Medical and our customers. Our product, CryoDose TA provides a clinically and therapeutically equivalent alternative that is also lower in cost, resulting in an effective solution to eliminating a hazardous product.
Repertoire: How is your company making safety a priority?
Steele: Nuance Medical is making safety a priority by providing an alternative to hazardous Ethyl Chloride. CryoDose TA is non-HAZMAT, non-flammable, non-toxic, topical anesthetic that requires no special storage or handling, and is disposed of with normal trash. We have partnered with MTMC to work with distributor representatives and their customers to know that a safer topical anesthetic alternative exists.
