How does SPM® help to manage, streamline and standardize surgical trays and sets?
The ability to uniquely identify (index) individual trays enables SPM® to track utilization rates of each individual tray. Based on average and peak demand the inventory levels can be right-sized, extra sets can be broken down and instruments re-allocated, or additional instrument purchases can be quantifiably justified. The ability to document used and unused instruments allows for the contents of sets to be fully justified. Excess items can be removed. Shrinking the size of sets reduces instrument inventory and also reduces the time required to process the sets and reduces the weight of sets.
