Custom Surgical Trays: Know What You Need

Custom trays allow you to design your own tray to ensure it’s filled with equipment you definitely need throughout operations. Custom surgical trays are necessary because methods of surgery may differ in certain scenarios. If they didn’t, new procedures wouldn’t be discovered on a regular basis. If you’ve never ordered a custom surgical tray before, take stock of what you use before you make your order. Following is a brief checklist to go through before you make your order.

  • Tabulate Necessary Equipment
  • Consider Tray Arrangement
  • Tabulate Costs of Necessary Equipment
  • Figure Monthly Needs And Triple Them

Equipment Needs

This seems like a no-brainer, but it needs to be stressed. What kind of equipment you need should be figured and noted. Custom trays are put together by an organization that is remote from your location. If you want your custom trays to include that which you need, you’ll have to have an exact record of just what that is.

Consider/Specify Tray Arrangement

You’ll need your equipment arranged in a certain way on your custom trays. Some things may end up damaging other things on the tray, and shouldn’t be sterilized-and-stored together. Additionally, how your trays are stored will determine their proximity to one another. It may be that your custom trays can be stacked one atop the other, but this might also not be the case. Be sure to consider this aspect of custom trays before you purchase.

Tabulate Piecemeal Cost Of Equipment

How much would it cost you to put together a custom tray by yourself? What is the equipment tab? When you’re putting together custom trays, the organization you use should ultimately be saving you money. There are several areas where this can occur. If you’ve been sterilizing equipment on-site, you can save money through energy savings. Additionally, you may be able to get rid of the sterilization equipment; though such equipment is a recommendable backup in emergency scenarios. Additionally, there is time saved in custom trays. Nurses or their aides do not have to put them together for you–and you don’t have to “get the job done right” by doing it yourself so often. Finally, you’re going to want to order enough trays to meet your needs. Look at your regular equipment needs for the year, and the cost of putting together trays and purchasing that equipment. You should be able to find custom trays that cost less in the long run.

Triple Your Expenditure Estimate Initially

You’re going to want to be secure in the custom trays you’ve purchased, but you also want to be secure in the case of contamination or shortage. 99.9 times out of 100, you’ll get the right trays–but what about that one time when the wrong shipment arrives at your office and you’ve got a miniature pandemic on your hands? In such scenarios, you’re going to need backups. What is advisable is tabulating the cost of equipment and energy used every month on trays. After that you’re going to want to triple it–you want a bevy of backups, and you want backups for your backups in the event the worst comes to the worst.

Proper Management of Custom Trays

Properly managing custom trays will save you money over time and increase the effectiveness of your practice or hospital. By always having a ready option available, surgery can be performed immediately while costs are consolidated and prep time is more than decimated. If you haven’t worked with custom trays before, giving it a shot could save you money, effort, and even lives. Manage custom trays correctly.
