WEG Surgical Solutions Launches New Product Named WEG Slush™

WEG Surgical Solutions (WEG) is adding a new, innovative device to its surgical supply offerings, officially launching WEG Slush™. With increasing ease of use and safety in the operating room as a top priority, WEG Slush™ is a quiter, smaller and more effective option than other machines in the market and can be paired with the company’s WEG Warmers™ to create a two-in-one system.

Unlike typical slush devices that are loud, require constant monitoring and can cause sharp-edged ice, “The new WEG Slush™ is a quieter and easy-to-use unit that operates with WEG drapes, either in isolation or in conjunction with WEG Warmers™, to reliably deliver smooth slush when needed in the operating room,” says WEG co-founder Paul Grozier. “We at WEG are delighted to have partnered with nurses again to deliver improved products for temperature management in the OR.”

The WEG Slush™ machine features a muted operating mechanism to reduce noise in the OR and has rounded corners to prevent inadvertent damage to the drapes. A lip on the top surface of the slush unit provides easier placement and additional stability for the drape, which helps to prevent the drape from slipping and compromising the sterile field.

The WEG Slush™ cooling is carefully regulated to ensure a consistently smoother slush with reduced staff interaction with the equipment. Automated stirring and temperature control help prevent sharp-edged ice, leading to a more efficient and productive operating room environment.

When combined with the WEG Warmer™, there is a defined and fixed distance between the slush disc and the frame in the warming basin for the combination drape. This design reduces gathering of the drape and the formation of ice clumps, resulting in smoother slush.

WEG Surgical Solutions’ exclusive offering of WEG Warmers™, WEG Slush™, and WEG Drapes provide an exact and consistent solution for warming and slush requirements in the operating room, improving the lives of doctors, patients, and nurses everywhere.
