Supporting better operating room (OR) outcomes
Hospitals are under pressure to improve OR efficiency while managing staff shortages, supply complexity, and minimising harm to the environment.
Medline’s Sterile Procedure Trays are designed to help address these challenges by combining all essential components into a single, sterile, ready‑to‑use tray.
We are large enough to meet your needs, yet small enough to offer creative approaches, flexibility and quick responses to help solve the issues you face every day. Our experts are ready to work with your procurement teams to create a customised pack suited to your needs.
Meeting the needs of healthcare providers
Staffing shortages and heavy workloads put pressure on healthcare professionals, which can ultimately impact patient care. Medline’s SPT solution helps improve OR efficiency while supporting nurses and surgeons by improving procedure setup.
Using SPTs instead of individually packed items reduces the number of packages that need to be opened. This can:
- significantly decrease setup time
- reduce contamination risk
- help ease the workload of clinical staff by allowing them to focus on what matters most: improving patient outcomes.
Enhancing efficiency in the OR
Touchpoints are the contact your staff has with surgical components. If each component is ‘touched’ 10 times, a surgical procedure with 47 components, for example, will involve 470 touchpoints.
Over the course of a year, this quickly adds up to a substantial amount of staff time. SPTs are ordered, stocked and tracked as one item, drastically reducing the number of touchpoints.
