Innovating Brushes Together
Are you a part of innovating the industry’s instrument cleaning brushes? Do you want to be? On this week’s Beyond Clean Vendor Spotlight™ podcast, we’re joined by industry veteran Dan DeShane with Sharn by Marketlab, as we discuss the critical need for education around specialty brushes and the urgent call for intentional, purpose-driven innovation in this space. Dan’s expertise is focused on educating SPD professionals around industry best practices, and with a legacy dating back 25+ years, Sharn by Marketlab is far from a newcomer to the world of SPD itself. Tune in to experience firsthand how their unique services, such as onsite assessments and consultations, along with color-coded wire cannula brushes and ergonomic handles, can revolutionize your Sterile Processing workflow. Also, don’t miss their special SPD Week “Thank You” giveaway happening next week!
