Surgical tray leaning: carbon, efficiency and cost-savings in MAKO robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty
It is imperative that innovative technologies are implemented with sustainability in mind and that any potential environmental harm is mitigated wherever possible. In this regard, the implementation of 'lean' surgical instrument trays should be considered to minimise the environmental impact of surgery while also improving efficiency and lowering costs.
