Surgical Instrument Repair and Sharpening
Ensure Precise Instrument Functionality and Reduce OR Service Costs
An Overlooked Driver of Unnecessary OR Costs
Surgical instruments are expected to provide physicians with the precision and consistency needed to execute successful surgical procedures. Yet, without the right quality and repair processes in place to safeguard the integrity of high-use equipment, a hospital’s instrument inventory can quickly become a burden to OR staff and a source of unnecessary repair and replacement costs.
