Why Outsource Punch Biopsy Instrument Reprocessing
 

Save Valuable Staff Time

Punch biopsy procedures may be brief, but reusable instruments still require cleaning, inspection, packaging, sterilisation and documentation. Outsourcing instrument reprocessing allows your team to spend more time with patients and less time managing instruments.

Reduce Compliance Work

Every punch biopsy instrument set is fully traceable throughout the reprocessing process. Sterilisation certificates and batch records are securely stored in your online clinic portal, providing easy access to compliance documentation whenever required.

Continue Using Reusable Instruments

Reusable punch biopsy instruments provide precision and reliability for everyday clinical procedures. PodMed enables your clinic to continue using reusable instruments without the ongoing burden of cleaning, packaging, sterilisation and record keeping.

A Simple Process

After the punch biopsy procedure, place your used instruments into the supplied collection container. We collect, clean, inspect, package, steam sterilise and return your reusable instruments sterile, traceable and ready for your next procedure.
