The Advantages of Procedural Kits
A procedural kit is a tool that can be used to simplify the responsibilities of both clinicians and healthcare managers alike. Typically, in order to conduct a surgical procedure — whether simple or complex — a clinician will require a range of sterilised tools. A procedural kit assembles all of the supplies, devices, and equipment required in a handy, convenient, and sterilised, pack.
Procedural kits can be mass produced or custom developed, depending on your facility’s specific needs. It’s important to note that the development and sale of procedural kits are regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Association — as are all other surgical supplies in Australia.
According to their guidelines, to meet the definition of a ‘procedural kit’, a pack must include two or more goods, at least one of which is a medical device, which are designed to be ‘interconnected or combined for use in a medical or surgical procedure’ or ‘packaged together for use in a medical or surgical procedure’. Further information can be found on their website.
Benefits of a Procedural Kit in a Surgical Setting
For clinicians, timely access to tools and supplies can be the difference between a positive patient outcome and a longer recovery time. This is particularly the case when conducting complex, high-risk surgical procedures. The presence of a procedural kit means a clinician can be confident that everything they need is right by their side.
Procedural kits not only benefit doctors and nurses, they can also significantly simplify the role of healthcare managers. Instead of having to keep track of individual items, be they bandages or scalpels, you will only have to monitor and manage the kits themselves. Purchasing products as part of a kit can also be looked at as a cost-saving measure.
Types of Procedural Kits
There are many different types of procedural kits. Aside from a surgical setting, these packs can be used in the treatment of everything from fractured bones to gynecological concerns.
Procedural kits can also be classified according to whether they are mass or custom produced.
