Types of surgical device and repair services

Improper handling of surgical devices, inadequate quality control between surgical procedures, and not following the device manufacturer’s Instructions for Use (IFUs) could all lead to poor performance of the device, cause frustration in theatres, and compromise patient safety. Common examples of damaged surgical devices and concerns to watch out for include gaps in the distal window of a rigid endoscope that can hold debris, physically damaged electrical connectors on cameras, kinked and melted cables on cameras, bent shafts on rigid endoscopes, rust on the outside of surgical power drills, and corrosion in the interior of surgical power drills. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial to ensure optimal patient outcomes and maintain a safe surgical environment.
