September is National Preparedness Month. When storm season slows global shipping, the longest supply lines can feel it first.

HALYARD* manufactures many products in the Americas as part of a vertically integrated supply chain, meaning shorter routes and fewer handoffs between where protection is made and where care depends on it.

The supply behind preparedness plans warrants a closer look. This is the time to ask, "Where are my products actually made?"

Retained remain one of the most preventable risks in healthcare. Because manual counting alone may expose risk to human error, Tally™ introduces a modern layer of accuracy with ultra-high frequency (UHF) technology. The innovative technology scans hundreds of sponges in seconds and provides an audit trail for every procedure.

When the stakes include patient safety, OR efficiency, and financial risk, precision should not be optional. Learn more about Tally™ and how it can serve you and your team: https://ow.ly/gNWr50ZFQrl

Retained surgical sponges are rare but can be costly, with legal settlements sometimes reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars. Near-miss events bring their own delays, stress, and resource strain.

By pairing RFID tagging with a lightweight scanning device, Tally™ helps teams prevent errors before they escalate. The result is improved safety, stronger reporting, and a more sustainable approach to risk mitigation across operating rooms, labor and delivery units, cath labs, and outpatient spaces.

Caroline Hampton nearly left nursing in 1899 because the available protection wasn't sufficient for the work she was actually doing.

125 years later, that's still the right question to ask about any glove on your supply list. Is it good enough for the people who wear them every day?

The CDC's 2025–2026 respiratory season outlook was technically accurate. The season was still one of the most operationally demanding in years.

Both can be true. And it changes the plan for 2026–2027.

Before surgical gloves existed, a nurse named Caroline Hampton decided the conditions she was working in weren't acceptable.

She wasn't a researcher or an executive. She was a scrub nurse who'd spent over a decade in the OR and finally said enough. What came from that decision is now standard in every care setting on earth.

Healthcare has always moved forward this way. Someone on the floor sees the problem first.

Skin health isn't a single product decision.

It's a system.

When prevention, protection, treatment, and healing work in sequence, at-risk patients get better outcomes before damage occurs.

Skin weakened by moisture, immobility, adhesives, or underlying conditions needs proactive care. Our Quick Facts resource gives clinicians a bedside reference for help in identifying and acting on at-risk skin before breakdown happens.
