The key clinical benefits that have been realised through the introduction of custom procedure
packs are:
- Reduction in time required for picking of components including drapes and
gowns for each procedure
- Reduced set up time for each procedure especially in
emergency cases
- Standardisation of products
- Safer handling of theatre consumables
- Reduction of lint in the operating theatres due to the introduction of single use drapes
and gowns
- More controlled OT environment with more thorough set ups
- Use of
disposable drapes has reduced the risk of infection.
