Surg-I-Band® Color Coding System

In 1961, Scanlan introduced Surg-I-Band® color coding as a fast, easy and safe way to identify surgical instruments.

Designed with the central supply and operating room in mind, Surg-I-Band® color coding saves time and money by offering more effective organization and identification of surgical instrumentation.

Available in 14 bright colors and 2 sizes, Surg-I-Band® color coding provides a multitude of color combinations for identifying instruments by surgeon, set, specialty and suite.

Today, over 45 years later, Surg-I-Band® color coding continues to be the leading instrument identification system around the world.
