Improving Perioperative Eye Safety: PandaPatch™ Joins the Innovation Accelerator Program

We are pleased to introduce PandaPatch™ Eye Safety Tape from Surgmed Group, now available to Members under Agreement #08977 through HealthPRO Canada’s Innovation Accelerator Program.
What It Is
PandaPatch is a purpose-built adhesive eye protector designed to help keep patients’ eyelids safely closed during general anaesthesia.
The ergonomic design combines gentle, latex-free and hypoallergenic adhesive with a non-adhesive coloured tab that makes the product easy to handle and remove. PandaPatch is designed to help reduce the risk of corneal injuries and ophthalmic complications associated with incomplete eye closure during general anaesthesia.
Key features include:
- Ergonomic Design: Designed for comfortable eye protection during and after surgery.
- Post-Surgery Friendly: Designed with patient comfort in mind beyond the procedure.
- Latex-Free and Hypoallergenic Adhesive: Supports use for patients with sensitive skin.
- Non-Adhesive Coloured Tabs: Allows for easy handling, application, removal, and monitoring of pupils.
- Flexible Options: Available in adult, extra-sensitive, and pediatric formats to support a range of patient needs.
Why It Matters
Patients under general anaesthesia may not fully close their eyes, which can increase the risk of corneal injury and other ophthalmic complications. Traditional approaches, such as ordinary surgical tape, may not be specifically designed for perioperative eye protection.
PandaPatch provides a purpose-built solution designed to support eyelid closure and protect patients’ eyes during general anaesthesia.
