Surgical Holdings to attend AfPP to showcase accredited rigid endoscope repair training programme
@Surgical-Holdings is delighted to be exhibiting at @The-Association-for-Perioperative-Practice (AfPP) Annual Conference 2022 to raise awareness of their accredited training programme which highlights how to test the quality of rigid endoscopes, identify faults and ensure patient safety.
At this year’s AfPP Annual Conference, we will be offering conference attendees the chance to develop skills and integrate CPD-accredited training, in order to help them better manage these important and valuable assets.
As a company, we have developed a standard operating procedures (SOP) training programme, which can be easily incorporated into internal Quality Management Systems, in order to assist 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.
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 help 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.
Surgical Holdings will also be offering delegates a chance to book a tour of our new Rigid Endoscope Repair workshop, based in Southend-on-Sea.
All major brands of rigid endoscope can be repaired at our workshop.
All repairs from our state-of-the-art workshop are carried out by highly-skilled technicians (with over 25 years of experience), returning scopes to the manufacturer’s original specification and utilising the latest technologies used in Optical Repair. These include laser welding, construction of Fiber bundles with the highest quality German materials and the latest soldering techniques to ensure optimum repair and clinical standards.
A tour around the Surgical Holdings facility allows visitors to gain exclusive insights into our expert repair, refurbishment and manufacturing service, allowing them to learn more about the technology, expertise and rigorous processes that go behind ensuring the quality of every instrument and repair.
