[Listen to this full interview here ] What if we told your hospital CEO they could save tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars by INVESTING more resources into your Sterile Processing department? Would you believe there is a $50 billion opportunity in the United States alone to reduce costs AND increase quality related to surgical instrument reprocessing? On Season 4 of the Beyond Clean podcast, we sat down with pediatric surgeon and industry advocate Dr. Peter Nichol to talk about the pivotal research he is spear-heading to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing our industry and we made a huge announcement about the future of Beyond Clean.
