Improve Efficiencies Through Device Innovation
.avif)
Improving SPD efficiencies begins long before sterilization: it starts with smarter instrument management.
At SureCount, we help SPD take control at every step of the reprocessing cycle. Our trays are designed to support best practices in tray preparation and may facilitate point-of-use cleaning, reducing opportunities for contamination and minimizing bioburden from the outset. With fewer instruments, better organization, and improved accountability, SureCount empowers your SPD staff to perform more efficiently from decontamination through tray preparation.
Streamline Your SPD
In a high-pressure SPD environment, speed and accuracy matter. SureCount’s optimized surgical trays reduce the number of instruments by 15–35%, improving workflow efficiency without compromising quality.
Key Benefits of SPD:
Faster Turnaround:
Save time in every cycle — fewer instruments mean faster sorting, cleaning, and assembly.
Fewers Errors:
Visually guided organization reduces
missing or misplaced tools.
Lower Costs:
Opportunity for reduced reprocessing, repair, and replacement costs.
Smart Design for Smarter Cleaning
Point-of-use cleaning, or precleaning, is a critical practice in maintaining the integrity and safety of surgical instruments from the moment they are used until they enter the decontamination process. Mesh baskets overloaded with unused instruments that may be bird-nested in the tray can make effective point-of-use cleaning more challenging.
Why Point-of-Use Cleaning is Essential:
Prevent Biofilm:
Immediate cleaning limits buildup
and contamination.
Protect Equipment:
Delays in cleaning can lead to corrosion, staining,
or damage, shortening the lifespan of costly tools.
Streamlining SPD Workflow:
Instruments are already in a manageable
state arriving into decontamination.

Improving Retention by Improving the Work
SureCount trays are designed to make SPD work simpler and more satisfying. With fewer instruments per tray and intuitive layouts featuring labeled, illustrated placeholders, new staff onboard faster and experienced techs face less daily stress. By lightening the workload and reducing errors, we help departments improve retention, confidence, and job satisfaction.
Built-In Safety for Sterile Processing Teams
Finger Prick Protection:
Reduced risk of sharps injuries during decontamination and reprocessing tasks by eliminating reaching into messy and tangled baskets.
Drive Compliance:
Cleaner, better-organized trays encourage more
consistent pre-cleaning in the OR, improving safety downstream in the SPD.
Clear Layouts:
Instruments are already in a manageable
state arriving into decontamination.
