In today’s high-demand surgical environments, every second counts—especially in sterile processing. As healthcare systems push to improve patient outcomes and operating room efficiency, innovations in low temperature sterilization are becoming critical. Technologies like Velocity, with its seven-second readout capability, are drastically reducing instrument turnaround times, allowing OR teams to respond faster and with greater confidence. This is particularly impactful for delicate and essential tools like robotic and laparoscopic cameras, which can now be sterilized more quickly without compromising safety. The key isn’t just speed, however; it’s also rigorous inspection—from borescopes to visual aids to proper lubrication—to ensure instruments are fully functional before use. Effective SPD leadership bridges the gap between instrument prep and surgical success, and it all begins in the decontamination process. For an on-the-ground perspective on how these improvements are reshaping workflows and enhancing patient care, meet Ayesha Doggett, Manager at Cone Health in Greensboro, North Carolina.
