Surgical tray optimization: a prospective and survey-based evaluation of environmental and economic outcomes

In multi-specialty settings, tray optimization offers substantial cost savings and modest but cumulative environmental benefits. Clinical observation identified greater reductions than staff reviews. Combining LCA with cost analysis can provide a transparent framework to guide sustainable surgical practice.

Abstract

In multi-specialty settings, tray optimization offers substantial cost savings and modest but cumulative environmental benefits. Clinical observation identified greater reductions than staff reviews. Combining LCA with cost analysis can provide a transparent framework to guide sustainable surgical practice.
