About Flower Orthopedics
Flower Orthopedics' "Ready-for-Surgery" concept provides surgery-specific applications in individual sterile packaging, which eliminates the need for pre-op sterilization and, compared to current practices, considerably reduces the number of implants and instruments brought into the operating room. All instruments in the FlowerCube™ are single-use and disposable, eliminating the need to reprocess surgical tools post-op. The disposable feature also decreases the risk of infection stemming from reusable devices and expedites valuable OR turnaround time. With these efficiencies, the company expects hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers to save as much as 30 percent of the combined implant and instrument costs currently spent on each surgical case.
