ExplORer Surgical is the Operating System for the Operating Room. The SaaS application is a playbook for surgical teams that enables stronger communication, teamwork, and situational awareness, before and during surgical procedures. Explorer is needed because surgical teams are becoming less specialized, working on many more procedures, and with more doctors than ever before. With Explorer, hospitals reduce open and unused supply waste, cut out delays and disruptions that consume 8-10% of operative time, and enable standardization of supplies, materials, and even protocols to ensure better outcomes at lower cost. Explorer can save the typical community hospital, performing 10,000 procedures a year, $10-15 million annually.
