Patient Safety Awareness Week is just around the corner, happening from March 9-15, 2025, and we’re fired up to join the celebration! At Z&Z Medical, we are more committed than ever to promoting a safe, efficient, and comfortable healthcare experience for both patients and staff. This week is all about raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and highlighting the critical role we all play in ensuring patient safety every day.

It’s time to step up and make sure that safety is at the forefront of everything we do in healthcare. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, a patient, or someone passionate about the well-being of others, this week offers the perfect opportunity to reflect, engage, and enhance safety practices across the board!

Why Patient Safety Matters: Every Moment Counts! Every single day, healthcare professionals make quick, critical decisions that impact the health and safety of their patients. That’s why it’s vital to ensure that safety measures are not only in place but also actively followed. From preventing falls to managing patient positioning during procedures, safety needs to be ingrained in every action, every moment.

This week is a reminder that no effort is too small when it comes to safeguarding patients. Whether it’s making sure your equipment is up-to-date, improving communication between teams, or simply taking the time to ensure the comfort and safety of each patient, it all makes a difference!

At Z&Z Medical, we’re proud to offer a wide range of products designed to support patient safety—from MRI safe products to comfortable, durable positioning solutions that help position patients during imaging procedures. Our products are designed with safety in mind, ensuring that the imaging environment is always prepared to prioritize comfort, efficiency, and, most importantly, safety.

Together, We Can Make a Difference! We believe that patient safety isn’t just a priority during one week of the year—it’s an ongoing commitment. Let’s use this time to build momentum, take action, and make a tangible impact on the health and safety of every patient we care for. The role of healthcare workers, administrators, and suppliers like Z&Z Medical is to always be striving for continuous improvement in patient safety practices.

So, what can you do to make Patient Safety Awareness Week count? Let’s celebrate together and ensure that patient safety is never taken for granted!

February is not just a month for celebrating love—it's also a time to raise awareness about heart health, especially for women. Go RED for Women Day is a powerful reminder to take care of our hearts and to support those who dedicate their lives to saving others. Cardiologists and interventional radiologists play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating heart conditions, and we are proud to provide the products that help them in their vital work.

It’s important that we do our part and recycle all those old lead x-ray aprons that may be laying around. As we know, lead is very harmful to the environment and must be disposed of properly. It’s important to note that some states may have different regulations and requirements than others, so check your local disposal regulations. 

A few ways for lead apron disposal:

1. Contact a recycling company. You can contact a local recycling (or “re-claimer”) scrap metal company and see if they recycle lead products.
2. Contact your hazardous waste carrier or handling company. Sometimes a local hazardous waste carrier or handling company will come to you and pick-up the lead apron. It’s important to follow your state and local regulations and check to confirm the handling company is licensed.
3. Bring your aprons to a local landfill. Many local landfills will accept lead aprons however, sometimes landfills won’t accept lead aprons with large cracks or damage due to high toxicity levels.

There may be more ways to dispose of lead aprons but these are the most common and appropriate disposal methods. It’s important to know that you cannot throw away lead aprons in the regular trash!
