Q: How long does a typical surgical procedure last?

Most minor procedures take between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Major surgeries can range from 2 to 6 hours or more depending on complexity and patient factors.

Q: What factors influence the duration of surgery?

Procedure complexity, patient health, anesthesia type, and the surgical team's experience all play a role in how long a surgery takes.

All our supplies are terminally sterilized and arrive in sealed, tamper-evident packaging that meets FDA and ISO 13485 standards.

Yes—every sterilized item has an expiration date printed on its packaging. You can also find lot and expiry details in your order confirmation or by inspecting the package label.

Q: How should I store surgical instruments to maintain sterility?

Keep items in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not break the sterile seal until immediately before use.
