Streamway - Surgical Fluid Disposal Device

The STREAMWAY^® System provides a carefully engineered waste fluid management system that avoids interruptions caused by frequent and potentially hazardous canister changes. Through direct-to-drain installation, this closed system automatically measures and disposes of surgical fluids and provides easy, environmentally sound operation. With no fluid canisters to empty, it is more cost effective to operate, and staff avoids biohazard exposures while spending less time on cleanup.

The STREAMWAY System enables hospitals and surgical centers to:

• Reduce overhead costs
  • Eliminate canister replacement & disposal
  • Avoid expensive hazardous material disposal
  • Reduce legal risk of staff exposure to biohazards
• Enhance efficiency and profitability of procedures
  • Operate with safe, continuous suction
  • Eliminate interruptions that consume time and labor
• Improve safety
  • For patients — Enhance patient-focused care  through time-saving, automated operation
  • For staff — Reduce risk of exposure to biohazard fluids and increase efficiency
  • For the environment  — Eliminate canisters and reduce biohazard waste

The STREAMWAY^® System takes an innovative, environmentally friendly approach to patient and staff safety. The integrated system provides efficient and effective direct-to-drain surgical waste handling designed for surgical centers and various procedure rooms throughout hospitals. The STREAMWAY System is FDA approved.

Canister Free

Each year, approximately 50 million used surgical canisters are sent to landfills in the U.S. That also means hospitals and outpatient centers spend millions of dollars on materials and hazardous waste management. Now, your facility can save that money and engage in environmentally sound practices. Use of the STREAMWAY System saves on the cost of disposing and replacing canisters, and it eliminates risky fluid transport.

Efficient, Uninterrupted Performance

Through its sophisticated design, the STREAMWAY System promotes safer, more profitable surgical procedures. It automatically collects, measures and disposes of surgical fluids into the plumbing system without interruption. Its unlimited capacity means no waiting for canister changes, and its easy cleanup saves on labor costs.

Convenient Wall Mount

By creating a compact collection and disposal unit to fit on or recessed into the wall, the STREAMWAY System provides staff with more space to move freely around the room. Unlike other units, it does not require any storage space or floor space.

Designed with the modern operating room and procedure room in mind, the STREAMWAY^® System offers simple installation on or recessed into the operating room wall. It remains out of the way, yet always there when needed. Each unit is integrated into your facility’s existing plumbing, giving it unlimited capacity. It automatically collects, measures and disposes of suctioned fluids without interruption.
