The Challenge:

Sue has worked in the CSSD department for the last 16 years and has been the CSSD Coordinator for the past six years. Her role requires her to purchase high-quality instruments from suppliers for their hospital. Anglesea Hospital has often had issues such as supply chain and lack of communication with suppliers, making it challenging to source needed instruments. This can often be time-consuming and requires several follow-ups to ensure they receive the required instruments. This can lead to missing instruments in their sets, delayed procedures and unhappy staff and patients.

How Hallmark Surgical has helped:

Sue now reaches out to Hallmark Surgical when she needs to replace, upgrade or source a special type of instrument. She states, “I have always found Hallmark Surgical to be reliable, responsive and offer competitive pricing and no hassles to exchange or return any items that for whatever reason have not been suitable”. This eliminates any unnecessary time spent following up or being unable to source what is needed. Sue now works with our North region team by reaching out with any requests she may have; we also have our product specialist, who can visit Sue to show her some of our key instruments and ask any necessary questions.
