The Old Way
vs
The New Way
The Old Way
Procedures are more unpredictable, with greater risk of complications and workplace / needlestick injuries.
The New Way
Streamlined, safer, and more predictable procedures that enhance clinical confidence and patient safety.
The Old Way
Requires extra staff time, medication use, increasing costs and causing diagnostic or treatment delays.
The New Way
Simplifies workflow, reduces medication reliance and staff demand, and enables faster, more efficient care delivery.
The Old Way
Distressing procedures often involve restraint or force, leading to avoidable trauma and difficult repeat procedures with dissatisfied patients.
The New Way
Transforms care into a calm, supportive experience that keeps patients calm and builds trust for future procedures.
