LabraGuard Lip Retractor
Reducing preventable harm, making common surgeries safer
Patient safety and highest quality care are paramount for optimal surgical outcomes.
Permanant cosmetic deformities have resulted from lip injuries during surgical procedures.
Lip injuries after tonsillectomy have sought damages up to $9.5M.
There is a shared responsibility for reduction of preventable patient harm—surgeons, hospitals and surgical facilities, medical device or instrument manufacturers.
FDA compliant, the LabraGuard is a single-use disposable medical device that could be used during common surgical procedures in the mouth and throat—tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, dental, and oral surgery procedures in patients of all ages.
Zotarix has sponsored an IRB approved clinical device trial at a nationally recognized hospital.
