Help reduce surgical site infections
Bacterial infections are a leading healthcare-associated risk in operating rooms[4]. Using digital door signs to minimize in-and-out traffic during surgeries can help reduce infection risks.
Real-time visibility at the OR door helps teams manage entries and movement more effectively, supporting a more controlled and sterile surgical environment.
