Medtronic Procedural Kits supports Healthcare professionals become more efficient in managing daily duties while improving quality of patient care

Reduced inventory
Clinical Institute Beato Matteo , Great Western Hospital and University Hospital Limerick reduced their inventory volume by 30 % and inventory value by 50 %, thanks to procedure boxes . As well as freeing up storage space and capital , this reduced waste . Great Western Hospital identified they could have saved £ 5000 in out-of-date products in one year by using procedure boxes . 7
Reduced stress and enhanced surgery experience
Procedure boxes guarantee the right products for the right surgery at the right time . “ The new procedure box for my laparoscopic lists is delivering the solution I was looking for ,” comments 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 %. 7 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 . 7
Procedure boxes provide the complete solution
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 ,” concludes Dr Roberto Tacchino , Head of the Bariatric Department at Clinical Institute Beato Matteo . 7
