Top 5 Nursing Accessories you Need for your Shift
Nurses have long been associated with medical scrubs, face masks and scrub caps, many of which the Infectious Clothing Company sells to the medical community. Medical tools, however, are synonymous with doctors performing surgeries daily. There is an assumption that nurses' patient care does not require medical devices to complete medical care, but that's not true.
What medical tools and accessories do nurses need to perform their jobs? We've listed them below.
1. Spirit Pocket Instrulite Diagnostic Torch
A penlight is a practical diagnostic tool that nurses and other medical professionals use globally. It is small enough to fit and illuminate hard-to-reach areas (mouth, ears, etc.), lightweight, easy to carry, and produces the perfect brightness to assess pupil response.
In this grand technological era, non-medical professionals ask, "Why don't you use your smartphone light?" Well, it's challenging to use latex glove-covered hands to pull out a smartphone, turn its light on, not to mention unlock its fingerprint access point. A penlight is a suitable tool for the job.
The Instrulite Diagnostic LED Light features:
- Bright and Cool Light: High lux lighting ensures clarity without overheating, making patient assessments easier.
- Integrated Tools: Includes a pupil gauge and slide ruler, offering multifunctional utility.
- Ready to Use: Comes complete with 2 AAA batteries and an individual package for immediate convenience.
A fob watch is a nurse's best friend when recording patient observations!
Did you know nurses have worn fob watches since the early to mid-1900s? Back then, nurses were fumbling with their wristwatches or pulling their chain watches out of their pockets. Nurses' hands are often contaminated, which makes regular watches impractical. This combination led to the invention of the fob watch. So, while you wear your fob watch, you do it knowing you are paying tribute to the nurses who came before you almost a century ago.
The Nurses Silicone Fob Watch is easily pinned to your uniform top to be flipped and read to count time using the second hand. At Infectious, our silicone Fob Watch is available in six colours, and features include:
- 25mm Watch Face diameter
- Flexible silicone housing
- Easy to clean surface
- Batteries.
Nurses must be easily identifiable when working in hospitals and more extensive facilities requiring card reader access. For nurses who are urgently moving through various areas during emergencies, a retractable ID holder allows them to quickly identify themselves by having their ID attached to their uniform and extending it to show who they are or to scan in. In an emergency, when the nurse's hands may not be free, it is also convenient for other personnel to access the ID and let it retract quickly so the nurse may continue with their task.
The SGB Retractable ID Holder is available in six colours and is easily interchangeable to suit your uniform and shift. Its features include:
- Hook - made from chrome plating
- Clip - for pocket or belt clip
- A dual holder is for a key chain or clear button strap.
