Turbett Surgical, Inc

Turbett Surgical manufactures the Instrument Pod, a patented surgical instrument containment and sterilization system designed to improve operating room and sterile processing department (SPD) efficiency. The Instrument Pod is a reusable, single-filter container system that holds surgical instrument trays during sterilization cycles, streamlining the instrument delivery process to the OR. Available in three sizes—TS1500 (15-tray capacity), TS1200 (12-tray capacity), and TS1000 (8-tray capacity)—the pods are compatible with all sterilizer brands and serve both hospital and ambulatory surgery center environments. The system is clinically validated to reduce OR room turnover time significantly, potentially enabling one additional surgery per day per dedicated OR. Key advantages include elimination of wrap holes, single-filter inspection (versus multiple wraps), simplified processing workflows, and reduced infection risk through one-person opening and no reusable gaskets. The gasket is built into the filter cartridge, ensuring a new seal for each patient. The Pod is validated for manual cleaning or automated cart-washer processing. Turbett Surgical targets surgical facilities seeking process improvements, staff satisfaction, surgeon productivity, and patient safety outcomes. The company is based in Henrietta, NY.
