A wake-up call for healthcare: Improving patient safety, outcomes & costs with instrument sterilization 

Surgical site infections continue to plague hospitals and health systems. While the industry has made strides in infection control practices — including sterilization methods — SSIs remain a significant cause of morbidity, prolonged or repeat hospitalization and patient deaths. As a result, some healthcare leaders are closely examining or reassessing their organizations' instrument sterilization practices and opportunities for innovation here. 

In this research-based white paper, you'll learn: 
 
  • The current state of instrument sterilization quality + deficiencies at most hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers
  • Why the design of reusable surgical instruments makes it challenging to reliably clean them
  • Recommended paths forward, including transitioning to single-use, sterile, pre-packaged instruments
