Shaping the future of the OR Neptune 3 Waste Management System
Neptune 3 is a constantly closed waste management system that collects, transports and disposes of surgical fluid waste helping protect staff from exposure whilst increasing efficiencies in the operating room. With Neptune 3, hospitals can reduce CO2 emissions associated with the use and incineration of disposable plastic canisters2 and commit to more sustainable ORs.
