Sterile packed implants
Providing the right implants, at the right time, at the right place, in the utmost quality. A sentence that is easy to say, but involves a lot of effort. We have your back and support you with smart tailor-made solutions for the supply of your AESCULAP® implants.
The supply cart can be customized according to your individual implant configuration. By doing so, the footprint in the clinic is reduced, implants are provided just-in-time and time savings can be achieved.
/
All instruments can be seamlessly tracked using the instacount® thus meeting the international standards in clinical / patient safety and compliance requirements.
/
Colors break through language barriers – instrument and implant modules are consistently color-coded, allowing for clear identification of components.6 Fewer distractions, more focus – this streamlines and improves workflows.
/
Supporting workflows and making them safer is our highest priority – the packaging has been designed to allow a truly sterile attachment of the instruments and handover to the surgeon. Thus, infection rates can be reduced.4,5
/
We prevent concerns related to reprocessed implants. With sterile packed implants benefit from: no contamination risk, no transfer of liability, no risk of corrosion, while enabling seamless traceability and compliance. 4,5

Instrument modules
Our solutions leverage spinal fusion on a whole new level by placing the patient at the heart of the treatment and allowing the surgeon to perform uncompromising spinal corrections across all workflows. Whether open, minimally invasive or hybrid approach, B. Braun is your trusted partner in cervical, thoracolumbar and sacropelvic spine surgery.
Engineered for surgeons, designed for hospitals
This versatile module covers a wide range of indications in open, mini-open and minimally invasive workflows. From cervical to sacropelvic treatment – whether screws, interbody fusion devices or instruments. In Degenerative Spine, implants, instruments and power tools come together to synergize.
What is going to be your next masterpiece?
The perfect spinal alignment. Everything you work towards – the dedication to improve a patient’s life – leads up to this one moment, your radiograph. The result is not just an image, but a work of art. It is a depiction of your surgical skills. We and our products support you as valuable partners in every decision you make for the best possible patient outcome. In addition to smart implants, we've expanded this module with dedicated instrument solutions enabling you to achieve great outcomes.
Reprocessing supply
We take nothing for granted and have developed trays with a high degree of flexibility while providing potentials to reduce the clinical footprint. With our Aesculap OrthoTray®s, the instruments are systematically sorted according to the surgical steps and can be opened as needed or kept sealed. This keeps the OR well organized and avoids confusion. Furthermore, fewer process costs are generated, as fewer trays enter the sterile supply cycle. [8]
