Preventative Maintenance: STERIS Restore
Being able to consistently rely on instrument sets is essential to the efficient running of your theatres. Failure or poor performance of an instrument can create costly delays to operations, jeopardising patient safety as well as the surgeon’s interaction with the instrument. STERIS offers a preventative maintenance programme 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
- Colour code & 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 programme will extend the life of the instrument inventory and reduces the need to invest and replace with new instruments. STERIS Restore will be managed to minimise operational impact, only removing instruments/trays where clinical services are not impacted.
