REDOSE

Immense piles of disposable waste are created daily in the operating room. Practicing anesthesia is a major contributor to the creation of this waste. How can an anesthesiologist perform his/her duties in an environmentally sound manner, without compromising patient care? With REDOSE. REDOSE allows an anesthesiologist to guide a patient through surgery safely and painlessly. It concerns a reusable primary packaging of anesthetics in the operating room.

One REDOSE product replaces all current disposable products that an anesthetist needs to administer an anesthetic to the patient. These required disposable products in the current situation are a syringe, a needle and a vial, ampoule or flapul. Reducing the number of disposable products will not only reduce the waste heap, but also increase the anesthesiologist's efficiency. In addition, REDOSE is connected directly to the three-way valve, ensuring rapid administration. The use of sharp objects is eliminated by REDOSE, so that the anesthesiologist cannot be injured. REDOSE also produces a safer effect for the anesthetist. Each REDOSE product contains an anesthetic, which is administered to a patient during surgery. There are six different REDOSE products: a sleeping aid, two painkillers, two muscle relaxants or curare and an anti-curare. With this set of anesthetics, the anesthesia of a patient can be safely initiated. When the product is empty, it is collected in the operating room. It is then sterilized and refilled with medication. These actions do not take place in the hospital itself, but at an external sterilization partner and a pharmaceutical company. After REDOSE products are refilled, they are re-delivered to the hospital. In this way, REDOSE will provide a circular alternative to the anesthetist for administering medication, without compromising patient care.
