Thermal Spread and Lateral Injury: The Safety Side of Energy Devices
Energy device thermal spread safety guide for MIS: how each modality spreads, which structures are at risk, and what procurement decisions actually matter.
SPD Throughput: Optimizing Sterile Processing for High-MIS-Volume ORs
SPD throughput optimization for high-volume MIS programs: tray count math, cycle-time caps, staffing ratios, and when to add a sterilizer instead of trays.
ASCs vs. Hospitals: How MIS Instrument Procurement Differs
ASC laparoscopic instrument procurement isn’t scaled-down hospital buying. Here’s how the logic differs — and what that means for case margin and SPD planning.
Instrument Longevity: Inspection, Maintenance, and When to Retire MIS Tools
A working laparoscopic instrument maintenance program prevents field failures before they happen. Here’s the inspection cadence, wear signatures, and retire-vs-repair math that hold up.
