Preventive Maintenance: STERIS Restore

Being able to rely on instrument sets consistently is essential to efficiently running your OR. Failure or poor performance of an instrument can create costly delays to operations, jeopardizing patient safety and the surgeon’s interaction with the instrument. STERIS offers a preventive maintenance program for your instrument trays, which brings your trays back to an as-new standard: STERIS Restore. For a single price per tray, regardless of the work required, we will:

  • Renew and sharpen instruments
  • Align, adjust & tighten instruments
  • Replace worn, missing, or broken parts
  • Replace instruments that are beyond economical repair
  • Laser mark
  • Lubricate, polish, and refinish

Tray refurbishment restores the quality and performance of the instruments and reduces downtime associated with lengthy repairs and sourcing replacement items. The program will extend the life of the instrument inventory and reduce the need to invest in and replace instruments. STERIS Restore will be managed to minimize operational impact, only removing instruments/trays where clinical services are not impacted.
