Certified surgical technologist, Demetris, and RN, Jordyn, partnered to create a custom, 3D-printed “magic key.” This clever idea turns an anxious transition for pediatric patients into a moment of imagination and play. Before surgery, each child receives their own key to “unlock” the door to their very own operating room. This simple act replaces fear with reassurance, making the move from pre-op a positive moment for both the children and their families. The prototype was sparked by Jordyn’s idea and brought to life by Demetris at our internal medical technology lab, generate-cedar rapids. Join our team of certified surgical techs today!
