Surgical Holdings, an award-winning British manufacturer and repairer of medical devices, will be exhibiting at the Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP) Annual Conference 2024. The company aims to raise awareness of their dedicated consumables division focused on strengthening supply chain resilience for single-use surgical solutions.
From diathermy plates to ultrasound gels, ECG electrodes, and defibrillation electrodes, Surgical Holdings' products complement their existing offerings, seamlessly aligning with the company's sustainability goals while ensuring accessibility.
At this year’s AfPP Annual Conference, Surgical Holdings will also be promoting its accredited training programme. This programme highlights how to test the quality of rigid endoscopes, identify faults, and ensure patient safety. The course offers conference attendees the chance to develop skills and integrate CPD-accredited training, helping them better manage these important and valuable assets.
The company has developed a standard operating procedures (SOP) training programme, which can be easily incorporated into internal Quality Management Systems. This programme assists theatres and sterile services departments in identifying the different faults routinely seen in the handling of rigid endoscopes, without the need for expensive endoscope checking apparatus.
Dan Coole, Managing Director of Surgical Holdings, explains:
"These simple tests can be used to check and improve the quality and condition of rigid endoscopes, which are reused every day in hospitals. Increased understanding of what can go wrong with endoscopes – which are routinely subjected to harsh conditions – and how to test them to identify and repair defects, will assist surgeons to detect problems before surgery and ensure the safety of patients is not compromised. An endoscope used during only one procedure typically will be handled by a minimum of six people."
Proudly ISO 13485 and CE Mark accredited, Surgical Holdings are skilled craftsmen and suppliers of surgical instruments, specialist products, and orthopaedic implants to both the NHS and private sector organisations across the globe.
Visitors can meet the Surgical Holdings team at Stand 24 and 25 throughout the event.
