injuries beyond the conventional timeframe. With these tools, surgeons can confidently
tackle tendon repairs ranging from three weeks to two months post-injury, expanding treatment options and improving patient outcomes. They lead to reduced surgical time and frustration, reduced cost of surgery and free up operating rooms and personnel. In addition, the sheath retractor and suture retriever provide faster return to normality, ensuring patient satisfaction, as well as minimising the chance of repeat surgery, that may result in replacing the tendon with different kinds of implants. These tools ensure non-traumatic tendon
surgery, streamlined suture retrieval within the sheath and, by minimising tissue trauma and enabling dilation of contracted tendon sheaths, they are ideal tools to navigate the treacherous terrain of “No Man’s Land”.
Savings
Cost cutting should not prevail over long term cost savings that can be made by improving access to key surgical tools. In fact, when a wider range of factors than the simple cost per item of surgical tools is taken into account, it becomes clear that getting surgery right quickly, simply and first time equates to a huge saving. Clearly, the longer surgery takes, the higher the costs to the healthcare system as more staff are occupied for longer, using more resources such as anaesthesia and monitoring machinery as well as occupying the OR longer, reducing the number of surgeries that could be carried out by the surgical centre in any given day. If surgery is not successful in restoring the
patient to complete mobility, then the system may incur additional and corrective surgeries as well as need for additional temporary implants. Makeshift tools are more likely to result in surgeries taking longer and causing surgical trauma, while longer surgeries, where the surgeon is battling with inadequate tools, or having to “MacGyver” new ones out of whatever is at hand, are a risk to the patient that is anaesthetised in the OR for longer, but also put the surgeon at risk of exhaustion. For surgeons, having to resort to on-the-fly solutions may lead to sub-optimal outcomes, with lasting consequences that can endure a lifetime and potentially even result in disability for patients. Surgeons, find themselves in difficult positions where the tools and resources at their disposal may not suffice to achieve the best possible results. This predicament not only compromises patient care but also inflicts a heavy toll on the morale and job
and moral dilemmas of delivering subpar care due to external constraints beyond their control. The pressures to reduce costs in healthcare settings should not overshadow the imperative of ensuring optimal patient outcomes. It’s not surprising therefore to find that
satisfaction of surgeons themselves. Surgeons facing resource limitations and inadequate tools are thus placed in untenable positions, where their ability to fulfil their professional duties is compromised. Consequently, job satisfaction among surgeons is likely to plummet as they grapple with the ethical
surgeons are increasingly compelled to advocate for their patients, striving to secure the necessary resources and support. However, this responsibility should not fall solely on the shoulders of individual surgeons. Healthcare systems and institutions must prioritise providing surgeons with the essential tools and resources required to perform their duties effectively. By investing in the infrastructure and equipment necessary for optimal patient care, healthcare organisations can uphold their commitment to both patients and healthcare
