Results from an independent evaluation of instruments to implant cemented spinal rods and screws revealed an average 50% cost-per-patient savings with single-use instruments marketed by Safe Orthopaedics vs. standard, partially-reusable instruments.
Per the study, the average cost per patient of Safe Orthopaedics’ single-use instruments is €865 (~US $977), vs. €1, 745 (~$1,971) on average for instruments previously used by Saint-Etienne University Hospital. Compared to a daily cost of hospitalization, the cost of non-reimbursed supplies is halved with single-use instruments (€66/$75 vs. €134/$151 per day).
“This study shows that for the implantation of cemented screws, the single-use instrument has a lower cost, for the same procedure,” noted the study authors, adding, “After testing, the single-use instrument has been validated by the surgeons.”
