The Cutter’s Edge is an innovative and customized computer based training program designed to elevate the knowledge, skill, and accuracy of your surgical team. 

For decades the only surgical prepatory tool possessed by medical institutions has been the surgeon’s preference card.  While helpful, preference cards alone are one dimensional, offering only written text when describing surgical procedures.   
Getting the cards “just right” is difficult because they are usually created by an RN
or surgical technician during the surgical procedure when their time cannot fully be devoted to making or updating the card.  The result is a high occurrence of inaccuracy and information gaps.  These inaccuracies and gaps are filled by the Cutter’s Edge. 

The Cutter’s Edge will allow nurses, technicians and support staff to preview procedures literally dozens of times prior to entering the operating room preparing them as never before.  Video, audio, diagrams, text, graphics, and photo galleries will lead the user through interactive tutorials of the procedures performed at your facility.  The Cutter’s Edge provides the ability to prepare beforehand and continuously improve.  Empowered staff and satisfied surgeons will culminate in improved outcomes delivered by your Cutter’s Edge.
