We rely on our healthcare facilities to deliver the best service to improve patient health and welfare, so when you read the attached document and realize that 74%, of immediate threat to life deficiencies, were traced back to improperly sterilized equipment at our hospitals and ASC’s, it is an outrage. It makes you shudder that these facilities continue to administer the same processes and equipment that were the causes to begin with. Maybe it’s time for the insurance companies to make decisions and increase reimbursements for single use disposable products to improve the outcome for our patients. The time to change is now. We need to change now. The concern is additional cost but why by avoiding this should it cost a life. #timeforchange #singleuse #infectioncontrol #BeSURE #GetSURE

Why do we still have as much resistance to single use products in the current environment, where surgical site infections and cancelled cases result in a huge financial burden for our healthcare system. We often hear what’s the point when I have a similar product which is reusable. Answer - RISK!!! We also hear that the level of waste is unacceptable. Answer - From the entire range of retractors SURE offer our “heaviest” retractor weighs roughly 5 ounces, so almost negligible increase to the existing incineration waste produced in our OR. Cost I appreciate is important and at SURE we keep that cost down, but ensure your case goes ahead or you can plan that extra case, helping to drive revenue from that extra case done or trauma case completed, but also mitigating all associated risks, and costs, of cancelling cases.

🌟 Advancing Patient Safety with Zygoma Buttress Fixation and Implantize Compact 🌟 In the image we have the chance to make a comparison of a failed zygoma implant (with red contour) and its distance to the skin (with an orange contour), versus the housing of the locked screws from Implantize Compact (with the green contour) At Implantize, we are committed to enhancing patient safety and improving outcomes in zygoma implant procedures. Our latest innovation, Implantize Compact, offers significant advancements over traditional zygoma implants, particularly in the area of zygoma buttress fixation. 🔍 Critical Differences: The figure above highlights a failed zygoma implant (red contour) and its proximity to the skin (orange contour), compared to the secure housing of the locked screws from Implantize Compact. Key differences include: Increased Coverage and Safety: Implantize Compact: Provides greater coverage with the same skin area, significantly enhancing safety. This comprehensive coverage reduces the risk of complications, such as face fistula. Traditional Zygoma Implants: Often require bicorticalization, where screws perforate the external cortical of the zygoma arch, increasing the risk of complications. Reduced Risk of Face Fistula: Implantize Compact: The screws do not perforate the external cortical of the zygoma arch, minimizing the risk of developing face fistula. Traditional Zygoma Implants: The protocol involves perforating the external cortical, which can lead to higher chances of fistula formation and other complications. 🔧 Zygoma Buttress Fixation: Enhanced Fixation: Implantize Compact’s approach ensures the screws are locked and housed securely, providing superior stability and fixation within the bone structure. Minimally Invasive: By avoiding the need for perforating the external cortical, the procedure is less invasive and prioritizes patient safety. 💡 Why It Matters: The advancements with Implantize Compact reflect our commitment to improving patient safety and surgical outcomes.
