Could Reviewing Haemostats Help Reduce Costs?

The NHS is under increased pressure to reduce expenditure whilst continuing to deliver the highest standards of patient care ¹. As budgets become tighter, one strategy NHS theatres can deploy is a review of their surgical consumables. One of these surgical consumables is absorbable haemostats. Haemostats are routinely used across a variety of surgical disciplines to control capillary, venous and minor arteriolar bleeding, yet product selection is often driven by… Read More »Could Reviewing Haemostats Help Reduce Costs?

Refurbish, Don’t Replace: Making the Economic Case for Refurbishing Surgical Instruments

In modern healthcare, innovation often takes centre stage: robotics, AI diagnostics, and advanced imaging, but some of the most impactful changes come from rethinking the fundamentals. Among them is a deceptively simple idea: what if hospitals refurbished more of their surgical instruments instead of replacing them? Every day, hospitals throughout the UK retire surgical instruments, not because they are beyond repair, but because they are showing minor wear, cosmetic damage,… Read More »Refurbish, Don’t Replace: Making the Economic Case for Refurbishing Surgical Instruments

How Surgical Headlight Design Impacts Surgeon Fatigue

As fatigue can affect stability and visual acuity in surgeons, it is essential to minimise it. Surgical Headlights are often a significant cause of fatigue, as they can lead to musculoskeletal strain, eye strain, and visual fatigue¹. This is why design plays a crucial role in helping maintain continuity and reducing strain. Reducing fatigue in surgeons yields multiple benefits, including improved cognitive performance and lessening long-term musculoskeletal disorders². Studies show… Read More »How Surgical Headlight Design Impacts Surgeon Fatigue
