Improvements in preoperative hair removal

Project Overview

Current methods in preoperative hair removal, brushing hair aside or picking it up with tape, are ineffective and messy. The client, Dr. Greg Hartig, has requested a universal device that attaches to suction already present in the OR that is capable of collecting hair after a patient is shaved. This device should be able to collect hair from any part of the body and do so in an efficient manner. It is essential that the hair retrieved does not plug or impede suction.
