Unit Price of the ORDock Cup Kit – the MSRP for the Sterile Cup Kits (i.e. 2-Cups per Kit) is $75.00 each. MD3 will provide a complimentary number of Platforms at no charge to jump start this program at a new facility. The Platforms are reusable, and were designed to safely hold 2-cups for use in the operating room.
Note: The ORDock is not just for instrument usage efficiency, more importantly, it also offers fire hazard mitigation. The below articles uncovered the hazards found every day in operating rooms across the US. The ORDock helps solve this risk!
OR Fire Hazard Articles of Interest (See Below) – The first article discusses an actual fire case that occurred in a Michigan operating room via an electrosurgical instrument, and the second article discusses a statistical overview of the number and type of fire incidents that occur annually in operating rooms throughout the US. What you will notice when reading each article, electrosurgical instruments are the predominant cause of fires in an OR setting. Note: ORDock, when used properly, is designed to minimize metal-on-metal exposure risks when a surgeon holstering his/her instruments.

U-M Hospital Fire Injures Patients
A recent news story discussed a fire last week at the University of Michigan’s Frankel Cardiovascular Center. According to reports, the fire happened in a second floor procedure room at the center. There was minimal property damage caused by the fire, but one patient suffered severe injuries and several others were treated for smoke inhalation.
Surgical fires occur during the operation on or near a patient who is undergoing a surgical procedure or medical procedure. These fires occur when three elements are present. These elements are an ignition source, a fuel source, and an oxidizer.
Ignition sources can include electrosurgical units, lasers, and fiberoptic light sources. Fuel sources include surgical drapes, alcohol-based skin preparation, and even the patient. Oxidizers include oxygen, nitrous oxide, and room air.
Many patients are at high risk for a surgical fire based upon the type of surgery that are undergoing in the operating room. Hospital and doctors need to assess the likelihood of a surgical fire and take necessary precautions to prevent injury or harm to the patient. The failure to prevent a fire during surgery can give rise to a medical negligence lawsuit.
