Hair clipping in barber shops and salons is cleaned up with a neat sweep-up, but neatness is not the standard in clinical environments, and especially around operating rooms. To help prevent bits of hair from flying all over the place, CareFusion has released a little vacuum that attaches to the company’s surgical clippers that sucks away hair as it’s being shaved off.
The company claims the ClipVac device captures 98.5% of the hair being clipped, which should help keep pre-op rooms clean and prevent contamination from tiny particles that may otherwise take flight along the air currents of the surgical ward.
