We're back with Episode 2 of my “Hank vs. the Robot” podcast series, and today I sit down with "Sterile Simon" to tackle one of Sterile Processing’s hottest topics: loaner instrument management. We’ll dive deep into why loaners even exist, explore major market players like Stryker and Zimmer Biomet, and discuss the complex challenges facing both vendors and Sterile Processing departments on this loaner issue — including staffing, specialization, and logistics.
Key insights from this episode include:
🎯 the multimillion-dollar value of surgeon relationships,
🎯 the critical need for 24-48 hour delivery windows,
🎯 and innovative solutions for training SPD staff on loaner instruments.
🎯 Plus, an intriguing discussion on potential new staffing models to handle the growing demand!
Whether you're in Sterile Processing, surgical services, or vendor management, this episode offers fresh perspectives on streamlining loaner instrument workflows. I hope you can join us!
