Weakening economy boosts need for instrument cost containment,vigilant care

It might be tempting to try to cut corners on surgical instrument purchases and repairs, but no one wants an unhappy surgeon and more importantly, it’s never wise to compromise patient care. Instead, buying smarter, and protecting your instrument investment will allow you to provide surgeons with quality instruments when and where they need them.

Healthcare Purchasing News’ annual Surgical Instruments Guide offers relevant information for sourcing potential suppliers and service providers. Evaluating instrument manufacturers and product quality, and selecting the optimal devices and cost-effectively maintaining their usefulness, can be challenging tasks. But HPN’s annual Guide on your desk should make sourcing for products and services more convenient all year long. You’ll find expert tips on containing costs, preventive maintenance, new technology evaluation, and more.
