Orthopedic and surgical device logistics revolves around serialized implants, instrument sets and the field inventory that supports surgical cases. We manage loaner kit turns, rep trunk stock, consignment replenishment and urgent case shipments with unit-level traceability.
Serialized implants and instrument sets
Implants such as screws, plates, nails and joint components are typically tracked by lot or serial number, and implantable devices are among those for which traceability matters most. Instrument sets, the trays of reusable tools needed to place those implants, are high-value assets that move between warehouse, hospital and sales rep constantly.
We receive implants with lot and serial captured from UDI labeling, store them by size and configuration so set builds are accurate, and record every unit that leaves on a shipment. Instrument sets are tracked as kits with their own identifiers and component lists, so you always know where each set is and what it should contain.
Loaner kit turns
Loaner kits go out for a scheduled case and must come back quickly, complete and ready for the next one. When a returned kit arrives, it is inventoried against its kit list, and used implants are identified and reported so the hospital can be billed and the kit replenished. Missing or damaged instruments are documented with photos.
Cleaning, decontamination and sterilization of reusable instruments are typically performed by the hospital's sterile processing department before and after use, under your instructions for use, so we route returned kits through your specified inspection steps before they are rebuilt and released. Fast, accurate turns reduce the number of duplicate sets you need to own.
Trunk stock, consignment and urgent cases
Sales reps carry trunk stock, hospitals hold consigned inventory and surgeons occasionally need a size or component that is not on the shelf before an early-morning case. Each of those flows needs traceability, because implants used from field inventory still have to be linked to the right lot or serial.
We ship rep replenishment and consignment restock orders with lot and serial capture, so field inventory is always reconciled to the shipment record. Urgent case orders can be prioritized for same-day processing and shipped on next-morning or expedited services, with the order flagged for delivery to the surgical department or rep as you specify.
Frequently asked questions
Can you manage orthopedic loaner kits?
Yes. We receive returned loaner kits, inventory them against the kit list, report used implants and missing instruments, and rebuild and release kits after your specified inspection steps.
Do you track implants by serial number?
Yes. Implants are received with lot and serial numbers captured from UDI labeling and recorded on every outbound shipment.
Can you ship urgent surgical case orders?
Yes. Urgent case orders can be prioritized for same-day processing and shipped on next-morning or expedited services to the hospital or rep.
