Mahe Medical introduced the "Blue Lavage" pulse lavage unit at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2019 Annual Meeting, March 13-15 in Las Vegas.
The device requires no batteries and is designed to be environmentally friendly.
Made of lightweight non-toxic plastic, the drive unit is flame-retardant and designed to be low-noise and fully rechargeable. Mahe estimates that the use of Blue Lavage would avert the disposal of 1.6 million batteries per year.
