The Vertevance standard

A better case starts before the incision.

Reliable cases are won in the preparation. We plan the kit with you, support the list with a specialist who knows it, and close every case with a complete record.

01 Before the list

Built to your case

We confirm the procedure, levels and approach before the list, then build your kit to the planned construct, with the sizes and alternatives you may need.

02 In theatre

Known in your theatre

The same trained people support the same lists. Your specialist knows the system, your preferences and what’s on the trolley, and stays within a credentialed, technical role.

03 After the case

Proven after the case

Implants are logged by batch, instruments by serial, and replacement stock is actioned before your next list.

How every case runs

Five stages, run the same way for every case and every pathway.

  1. 01
    Before booking

    Clarify

    We confirm the procedure, levels, surgeon preference and hospital requirements before anything is booked.

  2. 02
    Before the list

    Prepare

    We build the kit to the confirmed construct, check it against the pick list and stage it early enough to fix any shortfall.

  3. 03
    Before the day

    Coordinate

    Theatre, CSSD and the surgical team agree timing, sterilisation turnaround and who owns each task on the day.

  4. 04
    In theatre

    Support

    A trained specialist supports the product in theatre, within a clearly defined technical role.

  5. 05
    Same day

    Close

    Batch, case and site are recorded the same day, so every implant can be traced without a search.

Patient-specific reconstruction

Cranial and facial implants designed from one patient’s CT scan, in PEEK, PEEK + BCP, UHMWPE or titanium.

Customised PEEK cranial and facial implants fitted to a skull model
PSI Customised PEEK, Double Medical

Each implant is designed from the patient’s own CT data and signed off by the surgeon before it’s made. Production and dispatch usually take two to three days after sign-off, and we check the implant against the approved plan before it’s released for theatre.

  1. 1–2

    Scan & review

    The hospital acquires the CT scan to protocol. We check the data is usable.

  2. 3–4

    Design & sign-off

    We coordinate the design. The surgeon reviews and approves it.

  3. 5–6

    Manufacture & check

    Double Medical manufactures to the approved plan. We verify it on arrival.

  4. 7–8

    Theatre & record

    We support the case and record the implant against the patient’s file.
