SURGICAL INSTRUMENT REPAIR AND SHARPENING
Ensure Precise Instrument Functionality and Reduce OR Service Costs
An Overlooked Driver of Unnecessary Costs in the OR
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 inventory of instruments can quickly become a burden to OR staff and a source of unnecessary repair and replacement costs.

Agiliti helps you protect surgical outcomes by ensuring the integrity and performance of your surgical instruments. Whether it’s laparoscopic instrument re-insulation, complex forceps repairs or instrument diamond dusting, Agiliti offers a broad range of onsite surgical instrument repair capabilities that quickly return instruments to their original performance. With over 200 mobile repair labs across the country, our technicians work directly with OR staff to simplify the instrument repair process and shorten equipment downtime – while reducing OR service costs in the process.
