Back before hospitals used disposable surgical supplies during operations and other procedures there were a lot of reported cases of infections. Hospitals faced a great deal of lawsuits because of these post-operation infections. Many of them turned out to be deadly for some people as well. Not something that a hospital operations team wants to deal with.

Malpractice lawsuits became almost too common. The amount of money that hospital officials were paying out to patients who ended up with deadly infections due to improperly cleaned tools and utensils became too much to bear. After the board of directors of various hospitals got involved that was the end of that. IT would not take long for something new to be done.

They could, but it would be difficult to obtain and keep up the inventory for people who are also running a household. In many cases the home nurse or the caretaker that comes to the house will also have these utensils. People who work those jobs really do not have a choice but to use them because they do not have the facilities to clean and sanitize the items.

They spent a lot of time and a lot of money to try and find out why this was happening. But then they decided that it did not matter why it was happening, it was better to just make the change and go with an easy solution. Using disposable surgical supplies would solve most of the problems, whatever they were.

Taking these items and using them in hospitals is also a good idea and one that is taking place everywhere. When hospitals have their surgical centers supplied with these they actually can save money. They have run operational tests to see what would be cheaper. They used to have all the supplies put into a large container and brought into a sanitizing center.

When using these types of tools they discovered that they would also save money because they no longer had to train people to properly clean the utensils and also did not have to pay for all of the necessary cleaning chemicals. It was much cheaper than all of the overhead caused by using non-disposable tools. The lawyers they would have to keep on retainer got cheaper because they no longer had to worry about so many suits.

It also meant doctors could get the utensils faster in an emergency situation. They are all packaged separately so a nurse could bring them ready to use right to the doctor. The same is true for home care nurses and people caring for home bound patients that need various things done. If a home care nurse would have to bring regular devices and tools with them, they would have to also bring cleaning supplies with them.

Disposable surgical supplies have really saved the medical industry a lot of headaches all over. Millions of dollar, probably billions of revenue saved in lawsuits that were no longer taking place and money saved in overhead. These new procedures made things easier for everyone from nurses to administrators. When they did not have to pay so much in training employees to properly clean these tools they no longer had to worry about them making mistakes.
