RESULTS
Data was collected from a total of 308 survey respondents. Biological
derivatives were correctly identified in surgical products by only 25%
of survey respondents, only 19% stated that they regularly consent for
use of these products. Our results demonstrate that most participants in
this study do not routinely consent (81%) to the intra-operative use of
biological materials. An overwhelming 74% of participants agreed that
further education on the intra-operative use of biological materials
would be valuable.
