To achieve a balance between efficiency and cost in the management of medical instrument by the use of micro needle holder.
In this study, the novel multifunctional use of micro needle holders was performed between 2018 and 2019 at the Department of Ophthalmology in the 4 hospitals in Shaanxi Province. In this innovation, the micro needle holders were initially used as micro forceps to remove sutures, as eye spud to safety extract foreign body from cornea, as ciliary forceps to remove trichiasis, as well as punctal dilator to dilate most small puncta.
Using this technique, the medical costs of both procurement and sterilization were cut off in the selected 4 hospitals. The purchase cost has dropped by roughly 50%. The sterilization cost was decreased by about 30%.
The innovation in the five-in-one multifunctional use of micro needle holders saves the medical costs.
通过使用微型持针器在医疗器械管理中实现效率与成本的平衡。
本研究于2018年至2019年在陕西省4家医院的眼科进行了微型持针器的新型多功能应用。在这项创新中,微型持针器最初用作微型镊子拆除缝线,用作眼镊安全地从角膜取出异物,用作睫状镊拔除倒睫,以及用作泪点扩张器扩张大多数小泪点。
使用该技术,所选4家医院的采购和消毒医疗成本均得以削减。采购成本下降了约50%。消毒成本降低了约30%。
微型持针器的五合一多功能应用创新节省了医疗成本。
