Uncover hidden costs of rigid containers

There are both apparent and hidden costs associated with delivering an intact sterilized package. To achieve your financial goals, HALYARD* helps you evaluate total costs from sterilization through delivery in the OR and back to decontamination.

A HALYARD* Sales Rep can assist you in a financial analysis of your Central Sterile Processing Department to gather information in the following key areas:

  • Inaccurate cross references
  • Unaccounted for costs (overhead/utilities, OR downtime)
  • Incremental costs/true costs (acquisition, accessories)
  • Competitive analytics

TEST YOUR OWN CONTAINERS
