B ecause the majority of surgeries performed in hospital and outpatient center surgical suites today involve minimally invasive procedures and techniques, it’s not only prudent but also paramount for these facilities to take special care of their valuable endoscopic tools.That’s why Healthcare Purchasing News publishes its annual Endoscope Care Guide, a November edition staple for the last four years. We created it as a service to our readers to provide hard-working clinicians and administrators with useful information on cleaning, disinfecting, sterilizing and repairing all types of flexible and rigid endoscopes thoroughly, efficiently and cost-effectively. HPN’s exclusive guide also highlights and outlines the obvious, the hidden and overlooked dangers from improper cleaning, repair and storage, and identifies best practices for device longevity and reliability, which can produce high-quality patient care. We recruited experts and professionals from some of the leading companies that manufacture endoscopic products and offer endoscopic care services to share their insights and intelligence on keeping these costly surgical tools primed and ready for action all year long. So start reading and take notes. Your clinicians, patients and
endoscopic tools will thank you for it..
