Medtronic Procedural Kits supports Healthcare professionals become more efficient in managing daily duties while improving quality of patient care

Reduced inventory
Clinical Institute Beato Matteo, Great Western Hospital and University Hospital Limerick reduced their inventory volume by 30 % and inventory value by 50 %, thanks to procedure boxes. As well as freeing up storage space and capital, this reduced waste. Great Western Hospital identified they could have saved £ 5000 in out-of-date products in one year by using procedure boxes. 7
Reduced stress and enhanced surgery experience
Procedure boxes guarantee the right products for the right surgery at the right time.“ The new procedure box for my laparoscopic lists is delivering the solution I was looking for,” comments Mr Eoghan Condon, Consultant at University Hospital Limerick.“ They deliver a smoother theatre set-up, helping us achieve our start-up and end times.” As a result, University Hospital Limerick reduced its surgery set-up time by 63 % and its product selection error rate by 16 %. 7 This is likely to have a knock-on benefit for infection control, as staff never have to leave the operating room to collect missing products. 7
Procedure boxes provide the complete solution
Procedure boxes have helped these hospitals reduce their inventory and improve efficiency, enabling their staff to spend more time caring for patients.“ Kits support our efforts towards surgery standardisation, which is key to running an efficient and patient-centred service,” concludes Dr Roberto Tacchino, Head of the Bariatric Department at Clinical Institute Beato Matteo. 7
