Our customer's testimonial - Limerick University Hospital, Ireland

READ ABOUT YOUR PEER'S EXPERIENCES:

“The new procedure box for my laparoscopic lists is delivering the solution I was looking for,” Mr. Eoghan Condon, Consultant at University Hospital Limerick.

“They deliver a smoother theatre set-up, helping us achieve our start-up and end times.”

As a result, University Hospital Limerick reduced its surgery set-up time by 63% and its product selection error rate by 16%.22

This is likely to have a knock-on benefit for infection control, as staff never have to leave the operating room to collect missing products.22

Procedure boxes have helped these hospitals reduce their inventory and improve efficiency, enabling their staff to spend more time caring for patients.

“Kits support our efforts towards surgery standardisation, which is key to running an efficient and patient-centred service,” Dr Roberto Tacchino, Head of the Bariatric Department at Clinical Institute Beato Matteo.22
