Surgical Tray Optimization and Efficiency: The Impact of a Novel Sealed Sterile Container and Instrument Tray Technology.

CONCLUSION: Novel sealed sterilization containers demonstrated increased efficiency in the total turnover time of TKA trays. This is important for surgeons participating in bundle payments who perform surgery in a hospital and ambulatory surgery center. Reduced turnover time could potentially increase case load and decrease the need for extra instrumentation or loaner trays. This simple means of increasing efficiency could be used as a model for surgeons wishing to streamline surgical trays and reduce costs. PMID: 33245139 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
