Central Service Professionals Invited to Beat the Clock in Year Two of Wrap Race Competition

Article

Halyard Health, a global medical technology company focused on preventing infection, eliminating pain and speeding recovery, is out to find the fastest wrapper in the second annual SMART-FOLD* Wrap Race competition, a fun and fast paced competition for sterile processing and central service (CS) professionals. Last year, more than 170 CS professionals entered the competition and the top wrappers demonstrated their skills in less than 10 seconds.

If you are a CS professional who can wrap really fast, are determined to defend your championship title or missed your chance to compete last year, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Participants do not need to be Halyard Health customers to participate, but will need to use Halyard SMART-FOLD* Wrap for their contest entry.

The event is a fun and fast-paced competition designed to test the wrapping skills and speed of CS professionals using SMART-FOLD* Sterilization Wrap, an innovative sterilization packaging designed with the toughest tasks in mind, engineered to protect heavy trays and loaner sets from tears and cuts in handling.  CS professionals interested in competing in the SMART-FOLD* Wrap Race should contact their Halyard Health representative, who will visit participants’ facilities to videotape their fastest SMART-FOLD* wrapping times. The fastest wrappers will advance in the competition for an opportunity to be crowned the 2015 SMART-FOLD* Wrap Race Champion at the International Association of Healthcare Central Service Material Management (IAHCSMM) 2015 Annual Conference and Expo, May 3-6, 2015.

The delivery of safe, top quality patient care is critical in the hospital setting and CS professionals are among the most vital contributors on this front, responsible for cleaning, decontaminating, sterilizing and distributing medical and surgical instrumentation to the operating room. Using SMART-FOLD* Sterilization Wrap in this fun competition, CS professionals have an opportunity to demonstrate their hard work and dedication to preventing infections and keeping patients safe.

Enter today through Jan. 30, 2015 to see if you have what it takes to be the fastest in the industry. For additional information and specific deadlines, visit www.halyardhealth.com/wraprace.
