When American Medical Systems (AMS) chose Perfecseal to redesign trays about a year ago for two needle devices used during the implants of female stress urinary incontinence systems, the company had three goals: increase shelf space, reduce waste, and facilitate handling.
The original trays for the Sparc Sling System and Monarc Subfascial Hammock were bulky and difficult to handle, says Brent Binkowski, operations engineering manager for Minnetonka, MN-based AMS. “They also took up a lot of shelf space and created packaging waste at the hospital,” he adds.
