Wood, MD, MBA, FACS ABSTRACT Surgical procedures account for over 60% of the operating cost of a hospital. About 15% of these costs are those related to surgical instruments and supplies. Hospitals spend several million dollars a year on instrument sterilization, instrument tray assembly, and instrument repurchase costs.

The total number of viable microorganisms in a sample (or total viable count) is usually expressed in terms of colony forming units (or CFUs); the higher the count, the higher the burden. Visible and invisible bioburden left over from surgery must be removed through decontamination or the instrument cannot be properly sterilized.
