Choosing the Right Sternum Saw: Key Features and Best Practices for Surgeons 

Selecting the right sternum saw is crucial for ensuring successful surgical outcomes, particularly in complex cardiac and thoracic surgeries. As the largest and most trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of sternum saws worldwide, Mercury Healthcare is at the forefront of innovation, providing high-quality surgical tools that meet the needs of modern healthcare professionals. In this article, we explore the key features surgeons should consider when choosing a sternum saw and why Mercury Healthcare is the preferred choice for healthcare providers globally. 

Key Features to Look for in a Sternum Saw 

Precision and Control In critical surgeries, precise cutting is essential to minimize trauma and ensure patient safety. A sternum saw must offer excellent control, allowing surgeons to perform procedures with accuracy. Mercury Healthcare's S1 Sternum Saw is designed with a clear line of sight and lightweight construction, providing surgeons with exceptional control during surgeries. The precision of our saws ensures efficient cutting, reducing the risk of complications and enhancing patient recovery times. 

Ergonomics and Lightweight Design Long surgical procedures can be physically demanding for surgeons. A well-designed sternum saw should be lightweight and ergonomically crafted to reduce hand fatigue and allow surgeons to operate comfortably for extended periods. Mercury Healthcare prioritizes surgeon comfort, and our sternum saws are built with a balanced, lightweight design that enhances both maneuverability and ease of use. 

Sterilization Compatibility Fast and efficient sterilization is crucial in surgical settings to prevent infections. Our S1 Sternum Saw can be ETO sterilized or autoclaved, ensuring a quick turnaround between procedures. This feature is especially beneficial in busy operating rooms where time is critical, helping medical teams maintain optimal cleanliness without sacrificing efficiency. 

Convenience and Safety Features Safety features are a must for any surgical instrument. Mercury Healthcare's sternum saws are equipped with quick-release blades and a patented retention system, making blade changes seamless and reducing downtime during operations. Additionally, the tapered blade protector helps deflect underlying tissues from contact with the blade, minimizing the risk of tissue damage during surgery. These features make our saws both convenient and safe, allowing surgeons to focus on what matters most — patient care. 

Durability and Reliability A reliable sternum saw must withstand the demands of frequent use in high-stakes surgical environments. Mercury Healthcare's sternum saws are made from high-grade materials that ensure durability and longevity. Whether performing routine procedures or complex surgeries, our saws provide consistent performance, making them the trusted choice for surgeons worldwide. 

Best Practices for Using a Sternum Saw 

To maximize the performance of a sternum saw, surgeons should follow these best practices: 

Regular Maintenance: Proper cleaning and maintenance after each use will ensure the saw's longevity and precision. 

Blade Replacement: Always use sharp, sterile blades, and replace them as necessary to avoid unnecessary pressure on the sternum. 

Operator Training: Surgeons and surgical teams should undergo proper training to ensure the correct and safe use of the sternum saw, reducing risks and improving surgical outcomes.

The Importance of Autoclavable Canisters for Millennium Surgical Instruments

In the field of surgery, sterility is of paramount importance to ensure the safety and well-being of patients. To maintain sterile conditions, it is crucial to utilize reliable sterilization methods and equipment. Autoclavable canisters play a vital role in this process, particularly when it comes to preserving the sterility of Millennium surgical instruments.

In my neighbourhood, there used to be a hospital. Eventually, the government decided that it was “too old” and had to go. Dangerous, they said. Obsolete, they said. Can’t afford to have sick people in it, they explained. And then the building just sat there, empty, rather than being full of doctors helping people. This story is not about healthcare, or even about the time that I had to drive myself to the other, worse hospital across town while holding my own gaping wound closed with a ratchet strap held in my teeth. It’s about urban exploration.

For those of you unaccustomed to the word “urban,” simply replace it with “city.” Same deal with “exploration:” big word, just means “looking-at.” Together, you’re looking at stuff in a city. Now we’re all on the same page. Urban exploration is what folks who break and enter into abandoned buildings, storm sewers, and disused industrial mechanisms call their practice. It’s pretty dope: you go into a cool old building, take lots of pictures of cool old stuff, and then spend the rest of the week wondering if that fever you’re running might be because the old YMCA had a swimming pool full of pigeon shit and you just went wading through it “for fun.”

The old hospital, through these eyes, was primo. Big ol’ building, full of abandoned machines, long hallways, and windows to set up eerie photographs. It also had a sanitarium, which was only grudgingly converted into a cafeteria in recent years. This inconvenient fact will not stop those of you with overactive imaginations from believing that you are being stalked by a malevolent spirit of one of the patients, which is additional free entertainment for both you and the other members of your exploration party. Fun for the whole family! Actually, on second thought, don’t bring the kids, because they snitch, and then the security guards will start chaining up the doors and removing all the dusty autoclaves full of rusty surgical tools.

If there is something negative to be said about urban exploration, it’s that they don’t let you drive your car in there. There’s a lot of walking, you see, and my feet get tired after a mere four or five hours of running around in a blind panic through a series of identical corridors, wondering if that creaking sound is a security guard, or the building’s superstructure imploding. Things would be a lot easier if I could bring my three-thousand-pound 1970s Chrysler product along for the ride, because at least then we could store snacks in the back seat, and maybe some of the mice in the trunk would find a new home. Maybe we’ll get lucky and Little Government will give up on the idea of maintaining the highway next.

Ow.

So, you know, Wes' captivity is... brutal. And while there's so much else going on at Garcia's hands and the hands of the Visitors, the other person at the center of it all is Yalom.

Yalom is a surgeon. A very, very skilled medical whumper who operates on Wes time and time again. And it just hit me how deeply, desperately fucked up Wes is going to be from what Yalom did to him when he makes it out of captivity.

Wes, the ER nurse, waking up in a hospital. Those horrible, glaring white lights above him. The smell of autoclaved surgical packs and chlorhexidine. The feeling of gloved hands on his skin.

Within a split second of waking up, no matter how injured he is, Wes is going to be kicking and screaming and thrashing with a panic that is gonna get him (and possibly the staff around him) injured. There's every chance that they'll be people who know him. Who have worked with him before, who know him as someone they'd want taking care of them if they ever ended up in his place.

They're going to see this lighthearted, unflappable young man fighting so hard it takes five people to restrain him. All while he's scream-begging at the top of his lungs not to cut his hands again.

No matter what they assumed about them before, suddenly those scars all up and down his arms take on a very, very different light.

Public comment to CDC HICPAC committee November 2024

Infection control in healthcare.

My public comment to the CDC HICPAC Committee.

Direct link to my comment in the stream.

Direct link to the start of the whole comment period.

Day 2 of the meeting link, with another session of public comments then the vote.

I’m Chloe Humbert. Semmelweis is known for his campaign for hand washing standards. He was attacked by contrarians until his death. Today he is vindicated yet respiratory hygiene is the science denier flavour of the day.  It’s not okay that doctors and nurses are maskless and breathing directly on patients who then get infected. Now is the chance for those in positions to do so to set a precedent for deserved protection of worker and patient safety. To be on record giving evidence based practitioners something to hang onto.  We are going back.   The only question is how far back people in medical leadership are willing to sign onto. The announced incoming department of defense secretary is someone who said on national tv that he doesn’t wash his hands. We know what can happen because of what has happened before.  In the 1850s Florence Nightingale went to the Crimean War - a hospital in Constantinople. That's Istanbul now, and that situation was no Turkish delight on a moonlit night. She arrived at a British military base ATOP a cesspool where patients lay in their own feces among rodents and more soldiers died from infectious diseases than injuries in battle. Under Nightingale the place was scrubbed and she reduced the facility’s death rate by two thirds. We might go back further.  The Dark Ages was called that because society moved backwards from the technological advances that had come before. The fall of the Roman Eempire was marked by elites who only cared about the status quo; they could’ve developed a steam engine as far back as Heron in 15 BC but didn’t bother.  Going forward is a choice.  In an article in the Journal of Infectious Diseases & Preventive Medicine there’s a description of what happened back then. “In medieval times, hospitals were hazardous places, Epidemic infections killed large numbers of hospital patients during this period. Hospital infection and death rates were high. When a sick person entered a hospital, his or her property was disposed of, and in some regions, a requiem mass was held, as if he or she had already died.” Going backward is a choice.  We know better now. We use surgical gloves, autoclaves, disinfectants, checklists and yes, respirator masks exist. But big healthcare corporations don't wanna pay for that, they lock up PPE, force nurses to work without sick leave at hospitals, and make patients beg for reasonable accommodation.  Going forward is a choice.  Let this not be a case of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. But a time when serious healthcare professional leadership takes a stand for sanitary conditions in healthcare, and makes respirator masks and the precautionary principle the standard of care instead doing with masks what would be like calculating whether you should wash your hands after the toilet based on age or health status.

Jammie “Sarah” Garcia Yanez-Villegas, 15 (USA 1992)

Jammie Garcia, identified in some news sources as Jammie Garcia Yanez-Villegas, was a 15-year-old girl who was living with her common law husband, a man who had already had one baby with young Jammie. When Jammie became pregnant again, she was brought to the A to Z abortion facility in Houston in 1994. Jammie, or “Sarah” as she would be known later, would suffer a horrible fate.

Abortionist John Coleman killed Jammie’s unborn baby on February 18, 1994. Only four days later, on February 23, Jammie was in the Intensive Care Unit of a Houston hospital, with spiking fever, chills, nausea, pain, respiratory distress, a distended abdomen, low blood oxygen levels, and foul-smelling discharge. An examination revealed inflammation and a tear in her cervix that was oozing pus. The teenager’s condition deteriorated, and she died in the ICU on March 2.

An autopsy done on her body showed the extent of the damage that the young girl had suffered. Jammie’s body was wracked with abscesses, spreading infection that had entered her body through the damage the abortion had done to her uterus. Her brain, liver and lungs were severely swollen. Her liver and lungs weighed twice what they should have from the inflammation.

Jammie’s painful death brought a response. An inspection was conducted of the “safe and legal” abortion facility that killed her.

What the inspection uncovered was disgusting. The staff were not adequately trained in how to properly sterilize instruments. The administrator, Kristen Hing Fehr, was aware of the fact that the autoclave used to sterilize instruments was not functioning properly. As for the instruments themselves, “two loop forceps, two tenaculums and one curette were found to have small particles of dried brownish-dark red material on them. Three speculums were found to have small particles of dried clear material on them.” “The only sterilized abortion tray in the procedure room was found to contain a curette with a loop whose edge was visibly jagged instead of smooth.” (Source: Travis County District Court Cause No. 94-07517)

The abortionist who killed Jammie was John Coleman, who did not sterilize or replace the filthy surgical tools. Coleman, who suffered from emphysema, died only three days after Jammie. The facility’s employees reported being unsure about Coleman's ability to operate given the fact that he was dying and that his hands constantly shook.

No “back alley abortion” with a rusty coat hanger could have possibly done more damage to Jammie and her baby than the fully legal abortion that left her body ravaged by raging infections.

Jammie’s parents were not notified or asked for permission before the abortion that killed their teenage daughter. Parental consent laws could have saved her. A law known as “Sarah’s Law” to protect her identity was proposed to require parental consent for underage abortion clients.

But abortion advocates released Jammie’s personal information soon after, claiming that Sarah’s Law wouldn’t have saved her and that Pro-Lifers had intentionally misrepresented her case. They demanded that Sarah’s Law should not be instated and that the background information on “Sarah” be censored.

Finally, Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael P. Kenny ruled that the information about Sarah could stay on the ballot. The information on the ballot talks about Jammie’s death and reads: "Sarah was only 15 when she had a secret abortion. Had someone in her family known about the abortion, Sarah’s life could have been saved."

During the hearing, attorney Beth Porter, who represented Planned Parenthood, the abortion business challenging the law, identified Sarah as 15-year-old Jammie Garcia Yanez-Villegas who was living with her common law husband at the time of the abortion. Porter claimed that as a result, she would not have qualified for the parental notification law in California if it were in place at the time.

Meanwhile, Catherine Short said Jamie never told the abortion facility she was in a common law marriage before the abortion and the abortion facility never asked. The teenager would have qualified for the law because California law has different common law marriage statutes than Texas. Not all states would have legally recognized the common law marriage between a grown man and a 15-year-old girl. "Had someone in her family known, Sarah’s life could have been saved," Short said.

Previously, a representative of the group backing the parental notification measure said it doesn’t matter if Sarah was married or not at the time of her death because teenage girls lack the capacity to make major health decisions on their own and should have parental involvement to learn about the risks and alternatives.

"She was still 15 and was not equipped to make medical decisions on her own, whether she was living with the father of her child or not," the representative said. Physicians in Jammie’s case stated that, had an adult family member been aware that she had undergone an abortion, her life likely could have been spared.

Jammie did not have to die. Neither did her baby. The least we can do is protect more children from suffering the same gruesome fate.

holy shit dude

+ some highlights I enjoyed

Ní Fhlannagáin remembers telling the bureaucrats to wipe their feet. They didn't, and tracked mud into the clinic. They asked to see autoclave logs, business licences, narcotics stores, all of which Ní Fhlannagáin was prepared for. Then she spotted something catastrophic: a little cup, with two testicles in it, left just behind the cautery machine. Normally, patients were supposed to bring their balls with them after surgery. But Dana, last night’s patient, was "an absolute lightweight" and was zonked out on vicodin. Ní Fhlannagáin and Willow had to haul her into the house, then give the clinic a quick wipe down and focus on looking after her, intending to clean up fully tomorrow. (Ní Fhlannagáin asked Dana’s permission to tell The Independent her name.)

"Trans healthcare is a drag," she says. "I f***ing hate doing trans healthcare. I'd never do it again. It's one of the most rewarding things and one of the worst things that I ever had to do. "Part of that is that you were seeing folks at their most vulnerable. And trans girls? A lot of the time we don't do vulnerable real well. Because if you do vulnerable a lot, you don't last long. Anyone who does trans healthcare, God bless 'em. God bless 'em."

To younger trans people seeking that goal, she offers this advice: "Don't ask permission for how you live your life… what are they going to do, get you in more trouble? You're trans, honey; you're already in trouble. Just don't get caught."

[scorndotexe]

[image description: A screenshot of text from a wiki page. The header is "Press Kit notes", followed by "Autoclave". There is then a paragraph of text that reads:

I was in Alaska when I read about the discovery of a life-form that can not only survive an autoclave (The instrument used for sterilizing surgical instruments; It's supposed to kill any and all bacteria on the tools), but which seems to really enjoy the whole autoclave scene: at temperatures fatal to all other life forms, this bacteria would begin to breed.

End ID.]

so who's the autoclave and who's the bacteria that begins to breed in its conditions?

Xrumon Arigah’s Surgical Extraction Procedure

AS WRITTEN AND DICTATED BY ULLANE WISTIM, M.D, IN THE CROWN CLINIC

PREP BEFORE OPERATION:

All surgeons will be fed, watered, well rested, and having used the restroom. They will have woken up shortly before the operation starts due to its duration. All surgeons will be wearing proper attire - head covers, masks, and scrub suits. Sterile scrub suits, shoes, gloves, and goggles will be provided by the clinic, donned upon entry into the operating room to provide the lowest possible bacterial contamination during the operation. 

The operating theater will be prepared with sufficient room to remove, lift, and rotate sections of the suit to provide access to all the systems requiring detachment. These sections will be held and maneuvered with hover-tech above the operating surgeons for maximum ease of access to the patient and a clear field for operations. 

The patient will have been scanned by intraoperative CT prior to the operation, and 3D imagery of these scans will be displayed on wall screens to give surgeons access to all information about his internal organs. These images can be changed at will with simple voice commands.

Lard’s note: The person in the suit would be kept standing while being worked on - picture a sort of medical stand, keeping the patient upright even while unconscious, which allows mechanics/doctors access to everything except the literal soles of the feet. Which they shouldn't need access to, and even if they did, they could just move the stand onto a lift of some kind.

Surgeons will be sustained via nutritionally sufficient meal drinks provided. Short rest breaks will be allowed in shifts. Surgeons requiring restroom breaks will need to be sterilized before returning to the operating room. 

Robots will be present with biological waste containers to ferry waste away for autoclaving. Robots will also be present to bring and take away tools and equipment. 

The suit will be put into maintenance mode so that the subject can be safely operated on, and general anesthetic will be performed. A catheter will be inserted and IVs will be connected to supply sources on movable, levitating robots. The subject will have already undergone fasting, being shaved, and using clinic-issue painkillers for two weeks instead of his standard variety.

LIST OF SURGICAL TOOLS:

Harmonic Scalpel - A surgical instrument used to simultaneously cut and cauterize tissue. Ultrasonic energy is converted to mechanical energy at the active blade to apply pressure and then seal with a denatured protein coagulum. It has almost no thermal spread and smoke production, making it the safest model possible. 

Protective Goggles - In appearance they are ordinary surgical goggles, and provide protection from spurts of blood and other bodily fluids the same way. They can be adjusted with the tap of a button or voice command to provide advanced perception of oxygenated versus un-oxygenated blood, and generate vein road maps.

LIST OF CLINIC INVENTIONS:

Internal Laryngeal Rebreather - A liquid that goes down the patient’s throat and expands into the airway, becoming an internal, independent structure instead of an external mask that would impede other surgeries. The oxygen intake is reduced, so it is inadvisable to wear for long periods - this is why it will only be utilized in later stages of the surgery. 

Regenerative Serum - A substance derived from Thrixe Varzim’s tissue that allows for controlled regeneration of a troll’s body. It speeds healing and can allow for minor regrowth of lost biological matter. It must be used in small doses to not accidentally cause cancerous activity or undo surgical work, as it only regrows tissue in its natural form.

Bio-Sponge Buds - A modified version of the synthetic troll flesh already utilized by the clinic, these have been custom engineered by Ullane Wistim out of Xrumon Arigah’s DNA, monofilament fibers, and a bioabsorbable scaffold for optimal integration and structural integrity in his stomach wall. 

Nanotechnology - A specific brand created by Friday Lovely, these tiny repair vehicles made of her own radiation-resistant DNA can be programmed to fulfill a variety of tasks during surgery.

SURGERY PROCESSES, IN ORDER:

VISUAL SENSOR SUITE DISCONNECTION STEPS:

Due to it hampering the eventual necessary removal of the helmet, the visual sensor suite will be disconnected first. 

The head will be held in an altered 3-pin skull fixation device (to accommodate the patient’s standing position) to keep it absolutely still during the surgeries. 

3D image-guidance will be used to display the patient’s internal condition to the 3D computer model created from the CT scan. 

The helmet sections will be adjusted and slide aside so that the suite may be accessed. The skin will be prepped with an antiseptic. A cranial drill will be used to drill through the skull, exposing the dura, which will be peeled back to allow access to the brain. 

The optic nerve will be held and isolated via forceps as it is packed with cottonoids for protection. The cells grown into the conduits will be dissociated by injections of TrypLE, so that the conduits may be safely removed without damaging the vitreous humor.

His eyes will be monitored for their light response (and integrity of the optic nerve) at all times. Regenerative serum will be immediately applied via infused cottonoids if damage is sustained.

The skull bone will be sealed back in place with laser soldering. 

It will be likely the patient has sustained minor vision loss due to scar buildup around the conduits, but this will be addressed post-surgery. 

PSIIONIC DAMPENER REMOVAL STEPS: 

Dioscuri’s Area is the part of the troll brain where psiionic energy is generated; it is tied to voluntary motor functions, as while psiionic abilities are not muscularly based, even passively present powers require focus from the user to manipulate at will.

Fortunately for Xrumon Arigah, he has no psiionic powers, so removal is safe in that regard.

The dampener will be removed second, after the visual sensor suite. After its removal, psiionic influence on the surgery will be possible via Ullane Wistim and Friday Lovely’s psiionics. 

Once the helmet sections are slid back to expose the head, the skull will be cut into via cranial drill and the dampener will be located. Once it is located the wires attaching it to the Dioscuri region will be carefully detached via a stent-retriever inserted by way of a micro catheter.

Once all wires have been detached and removed from the body, the dampener itself will be extracted. 

As with all neurological operations during this surgery, laser soldering will once more be used to seal the brain tissue after incision and prevent damage and blood loss. 

VITAL SIGNS MONITOR REMOVAL STEPS:

The monitor must first be removed from where it is hooked into the patient’s brain stem by PEDOT clusters. Sterile saline solution will be used to sanitize and avoid excess heating while drilling through the skull to reach the clusters, microspheres meshed with the brainstem via hydrogels. 

A lighted scope will be used to view the site clearly, and it will be clipped to prevent full circulation so the patient does not die of blood loss. The clusters will be detached via a syringe inserted into the capillary of the correct cerebellar blood vessel to extract all the PEDOTS clusters, earlier located during the CT scan. 

A small window will be drilled into the bone above the spinal cord to observe the monitor site and to make it possible to extract after the wires are detached, all the way down to the base of the vertebrae at the conus medullaris. 

A few key incisions along the spine will be made to access the scar tissue around the wires, and nanotech delivering extracorporeal shockwave treatment will be used to loosen and draw them out by gentle tissue dissolution around the sites. 

The neck muscles will be spread apart to allow extraction via retractor, then a bony well will be drilled to access the monitor, using a silicone replica of the monitor as a guide to ensure the exact necessary depth and no further. 

The monitor will then be set aside, along with the wires.

ADVANCED WARFARE CENTER REMOVAL STEPS:

Located prior via CT scan, the microchips will be reached by syringes piercing the brain matter exactly where the chips in their capsules are located. 

Care must be taken to ensure the brain tissue itself is not damaged in the process. As is standard, regenerative serum injections will be prepped in case damage is sustained.

The microchips will be set aside and later prepped for hazardous waste disposal.

BREATH OF LIFE SYSTEM REMOVAL STEPS:

Infrared fluorescent imaging will be used to provide a real-time model of the patient’s lungs and the structures within during this operation.

A bite block followed by an endoscope will be placed down the patient’s throat. This will deliver nanotech to dissolve the anti-clotting coating on the cannulas so that hemostatic nanoparticles may temporarily clot his blood to prevent the patient choking to death. 

The oxygenator membrane and pump will be disabled by nanotech to safely cut off its power source, then the lung pumps’ tubes loosened and detached gradually. The tubes - cannulas-  will be disassembled into their glass and wire components, and removed back up the endoscope via nanotech, and set aside. This step will need to be done incrementally over several minutes to ensure safe disconnect. 

The stomach tube will also need to be disconnected and disassembled. All tubes require time to do so properly, as the cannulas are structured to avoid bubbling in the blood vessels and support a smooth transition to prevent improper drainage and maintain regular flow levels. 

As the drainage is redirected, more hemostatic particles will both absorb the excess and other nanoparticles will temporarily graft and re-direct blood to other vessels so the patient does not die of blood loss. 

In the likely case of damage caused during the surgery, nanotech carrying regenerative serum will also be accompanying the disassembly units. Regardless of additional harm, the vessels the tubes were attached to will need to be repaired by this method before the nanotech is removed once more. 

Finally, a ventilator will need to be attached afterward to help his lungs transition back to their usual functionality. 

BLOODFLOW REGULATOR REMOVAL STEPS: 

The chest will be cut open below the collarbone, and pacing leads will be attached to the cardiac veins. Plastic tubing will be inserted over leads as sheaths to break up the scar tissue that has formed around the vein sites. The leads will be anchored via suture after fixation to prevent dislodging. 

The regulator will first be disconnected from the devilfish reflex kit via surgical scissor and the wound sealed via harmonic scalpel, then disconnected from the heart itself. 

A smaller, less powerful biventricular pacemaker will be installed to ease the loss of the old one, as his heart has come to depend on it. It will be implanted inside the heart itself, with a lead attached to a vein under the collarbone on one side and the pulse generator on the other. 

In time, he will ideally be able to survive without one entirely. 

DEVILFISH REFLEX KIT DISCONNECTION STEPS:

All conduits must be disconnected from the relevant nerve clusters without paralyzing the patient from damage to his nervous system or incurring fatal amounts of blood loss. This stage of the surgery will be the longest; surgeons will be swapped out every three hours to ensure focus and quality of work is retained.

The conduits will be cut via robotically operated surgical scissors, and harmonic scalpels will be used to seal openings.

In case of any damage, nerves can later be repaired via a few different methods: suture, grafting, or transfer. This will be a future operation, as any damage will only be able to be patched and not fully repaired in the present moment due to time constraints. 

Intraoperative cell salvage will be used to prevent the patient from dying of blood loss. Blood will be collected, combined with anticoagulant, centrifuged, washed in saline, and reinfused periodically by robots. 

One to two surgeons will operate a robotic set of instruments to detach the conduits - allowing for tremor-free and magnified views of the vital nerve clusters - as others perform the cell salvage and set the conduits aside, ready to pause in case of emergencies. 

ANTI-TOXIN FILTER DISCONNECTION STEPS:

The dialysis units in the suit must be safely disconnected from the subject’s kidneys and liver. 

The hazards primarily involve not tearing the fistula connection site, as the vein and artery connection will bleed heavily if torn during removal of the tubing. Excessive clotting should also be avoided.

The units must be prepared for removal. First, they will be switched off, then the units’ lines must be clamped to prevent blood loss. Saline will be kept on hand for emergency infusions, and to flush the tubes in case of any clotting. 

Nanotech will be used to disconnect the tubing by loosening it safely so the needles may be removed nigh-instantly via scalpel and needle pliers. To best prevent damage and complications, they will be removed at the same angle they were inserted, and with moderate compression via nanotech to both prevent excess clotting and circulatory issues. 

The kidney units themselves must be removed via disassembly via laparoscopic tube (similarly to the breath of life regulator) and the wound sealed shut using subcuticular stitches (placed below the epidermal layer).

The liver unit will follow the same process, using the same supracostal incision. 

An external dialysis machine will then be connected following the removal of all three units, to ensure his body does not fail from the dependence it will have likely developed during its time connected to the units.

IRON JAW REMOVAL STEPS:

The front portion of the helmet will be opened, and the mouth propped open with gags. 

The patient will be switched from breathing tubes to the laryngeal airway mask substitute, allowing direct access to the tongue. 

This substitute will also contain the solvent to dissolve the hardening compound. When the compound is fully dissolved, it and the solvent can be safely swallowed. 

WAVEFORM ALIGNMENT RETICULATOR DISCONNECTION STEPS:

First, the stomach will be inflated via tube-delivered carbon dioxide gas, to have a clear view of its lining. 

The reticulator itself will first be secured via medical cinch. The clips holding the tube in place will be removed and the primed buds containing bio-sponge will be placed in the clips’ former locations via syringe. 

The tube will be pulled through the stomach wall as the buds generate and weave a mesh plug over the hole in under a second. This allows for the minimum possible leakage. 

The tube removal site will then be covered with a sterile dressing to further contain any later leakage and later changed periodically. 

Afterward, the patient will receive medication to reduce his stomach acid to facilitate the healing and successful graft of the stomach hole.

CLEAN CHAIN REACTOR REMOVAL STEPS:

The final operation. Before it is undertaken, the vitals of the suit must be checked to ensure all other disconnects are stable.

Xrumon must still be under anesthesia, and he must be stabilized with fresh IV fluids to prepare him for full life-support disconnect. 

Much like the reticulator, the reactor will follow similar securement and removal steps, and the stomach hole will need to be plugged using the same method as above. Once this hole is plugged, Xrumon will be fully detached from the suit.

Once this is done, the patient laid down to rest and stabilize with the aforementioned post-surgery procedures and the suit itself must be set aside.

ULLANE’S BACKUP PLAN, SHOULD XRUMON SEEM IRRECOVERABLY ON THE BRINK OF DEATH, AS A PROJECTED MESSAGE THAT WILL SHOW IF SHE IS COMPELLED TO USE UP ALL HER PSIIONIC ENERGY IN ONE BURST:

To my staff, should this be necessary -

I have had ports installed under my skin like those of helms. So that if I must overclock my psiionics to save Xrumon’s life, I will be immediately stabilized, preventing brain damage if not other damage from burnout, though the ports are also designed to release regenerative serum if such occurs. I have fallen unconscious, and can be safely revived after an hour’s rest. 

I know you’ll question me; you’re right to. But even if this is the wrong decision, it’s the one I’m making. Ideally, it won’t be necessary. 

I would still rather do it to ensure his survival. He must live.

No matter what.

^ You’re half-right about what can be reused. Basically any medical instrument used in a surgical procedure can be disposable - including scalpels, as they have a thin blade and razor’s edge, both of which are pretty fragile. In fact, there’s been a push recently to look into creating glass-bladed scalpels, as the sharp edge is so fine that it causes less damage to the cells as it cuts! Of course, these would also be disposable blades.

Autoclaves, machines that clean reusable medical instruments, are costly. They require a lot of power, and they require personnel with the proper training to operate them properly to ensure that instruments are actually sterilized.

Typically, instruments that will not trap debris in them in some place can be autoclaved, like scalpels, tweezers, glass items, any instrument that has hinges that come apart or are molded in smooth shapes with very few ridges in them. Which admittedly is most reusable medical instruments - there’s a reason they look the way they do.

Additionally, I need to direct attention to plastic straws again, because the campaign against them has been absolutely devastating. Single-use plastic straws are:

Clean: important for patient safety, as mold is common in all other straw types

Posable: important for ease of use, as patients cannot always use a straight straw or are unable to sit up to drink

Disposable: important because they cannot be autoclaved effectively, just like all other reusable straws currently on the market

Hypoallergenic: plastic itself is very unreactive and unlikely to cause an allergic reaction, the only comparable reusable material is glass

Not breakable: the straw doesn’t shatter, splinter, or melt, meaning it can be used for as long as it needs to be, it can be dropped, chewed, bent, and otherwise manipulated without harming the user.

Those who may use single use plastic straws in order to drink include anyone from those with muscular-skeletal disorders to those with broken jaws, to patients who don’t have the coordination necessary to hold a cup in order to drink from it, to those like me, who struggle to swallow when tired due to chronic fatigue.

They’re important. The plastic garbage island in the ocean is made of mostly fishing nets. Direct your ire at corporations and know that if you have reusable straws they can become quite dangerous very easily, always check that they’re clean and if your plastic, bamboo, or silicon ones ever grow mold, they are now biohazards <3
