Refinance to reduce your interest rate
One often overlooked way to save money is to refinance your facility's original startup costs, including real estate, capital equipment, working capital, site development, architectural fees and construction costs. A lower interest rate can result in major savings over time.

 A seal steal
To reinforce surgical incisions longer than 5 cm, use rolls of 1-inch wide paper tape (50?) instead of Steri-Strips ($2). The results are better, too - reduced shearing, blistering and fewer allergic reactions.

Smart supply storage
Reuse the plastic container your laparoscopic pads come in to store all the little extra supplies you have to pull for a case, such as extra blades, sutures and gloves.

Suction savings
Since we installed a reusable suction system in each of our procedure rooms and scope reprocessing rooms, we no longer have to purchase canister kits or dispose of soiled canisters.
