Magnetic surgical mat: reliable instrument holding, even on inclined surfaces

In the operating room, keeping instruments within reach without the risk of them sliding or falling is a real time- and safety-saver for the whole team.

This surgical mat meets that need with its magnetic version: its medical-grade silicone surface integrates magnets that firmly hold forceps, scissors and other metal instruments, even on an inclined plane or a contoured surface. The team keeps immediate, safe access to instruments while reducing the risk of drops.

Features

The mat is made of medical-grade silicone, designed to withstand operating room constraints while remaining easy to maintain. Its smooth surface cleans quickly between uses, and its flexibility allows it to be rolled for sterilization together with the rest of the instrument tray.

Instrument retention relies on magnets integrated into the mat structure. Unlike a simple anti-slip surface, magnetic attraction provides stable holding even when the mat conforms to an inclined or irregular shape, making it especially useful when space is limited.

It is a reusable device, designed to withstand many use cycles over the course of procedures.

Use and sterilization

The magnetic mat is supplied non-sterile. Before each use, it must be cleaned, sterilized and thoroughly dried, just like the other instruments on the operating tray. Its autoclave resistance allows it to be integrated directly into the standard sterilization cycle, without special handling.

Precaution in MRI environments

This model is classified MR Unsafe: the presence of magnets in its structure makes it incompatible with MRI environments. It is therefore reserved for procedures carried out outside MRI suites. For use in MRI environments, a non-magnetic version exists and will be presented separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. It is supplied non-sterile and must be cleaned, sterilized and dried before each use, like the rest of the instrumentation.

No, this model is classified MR Unsafe due to its integrated magnets. It must not be used near MRI equipment.

It is cleaned and sterilized according to the operating room's standard protocol, then dried before use. Its autoclave resistance allows it to be included in the same cycle as the instruments it will hold.

Yes, it is designed for repeated use over multiple procedure and sterilization cycles.

Its smooth, non-porous medical silicone surface is easy to clean, which simplifies maintenance between procedures.
