Stray Away will keep hair away from interfering with the surgical area and improve patient preparation time and experience.

MedStar Health business innovation director Marck-Arthur Clerveau said: “The Stray Away hair drape exemplifies how outstanding medical technology advancements are often identified and captured by healthcare professionals innovating to enhance their daily practice.”

Designed and produced by Cardinal Health, Stray Away has an innovative design that helps to easily keep patient hair away from the sterile surgical site.

The Stray Away drape features three unique anchoring points which help maintain a firm grip on the patient’s head and hair to provide a steady hold throughout the duration of the surgery.
