Reliable protection for perioperative nurse surgical assistants (PNSA) supporting surgical teams across complex operating environments.

Surgical practice is complex and comes with inherent risks. PNSAs may be exposed to situations where clinical outcomes may lead to complaints, claims or legal action.
