F. Daniel Johnson
Founder & CEO, Instrumentum
Patients undergoing surgery can now feel more confident that the instruments used during their procedure are prepared to the highest standards. With firsthand knowledge and concern for patients, a medical device rep from one of the large manufacturers of medical instrumentation and a group of respected orthopedic surgeons contacted businessman Dan Johnson. Aware that his firm was successful in helping founders grow companies that positively disrupt the marketplace by innovating to solve problems, they presented the need for improved instrument sterilization services.
As reported to Johnson, “We are increasingly seeing instrumentation being presented into the surgery theater that must be rejected because it is not, in fact, sterile. This can result in serious risks for the patient and cause inconvenient and expensive delays for everyone working in the operating room while the surgery is suspended.
Johnson notes, “As the amount of elective quality-of-life surgeries is increasing, hospitals often have difficulty keeping up with the corresponding amount of instrumentation that sterile processing departments are asked to process. With the added challenges of budget constraints and less available resources, quality can be compromised and the number of surgeries limited.”
Instrumentum was created to partner with health care providers and empower them to add more surgeries while improving the quality of their SPD operation. Proper sterilization of surgical instruments is central to good patient care, and Instrumentum is the emerging leader in the sterilization-as-a-service category.
Proudly based in Boca Raton with its headquarters and R&D facility located in the Research Park at Florida Atlantic University, Instrumentum is raising the bar nationally for quality sterile processing services.
