Surgical procedure wait times by country . . . .

Because you Don't Know When your surgery will be . . .

2. There are 193,000 NHS patients EVERY MONTH beyond their estimated surgery date according to the Royal College of Surgeons - 55% higher than 4 years ago . . . . 25% of them orthopaedic procedures . . . .

And I would guess that every one of those orthopaedic patients is on pain drugs, most every day pre-op . . . . . . do that math for B. Braun and BIEL . At the minimum, 52,816 orthopaedic patients are waiting an average of 18 weeks (3.5 months), that's 184,900 pain months, if patients wear ActiPatch constantly, between the time of surgical decision and the procedure itself . . . .and, wait for it, that's a constant - There are 193,000 NHS patients EVERY MONTH beyond their estimated surgery date

And B. Braun will be providing pre-op ActiPatches, allowing many if not most of those patients to either be off drugs or at reduced usage pre-op, thanks to ActiPatch . . . and all covered by their NHS insurance . . . . hmmmmm, nice . . .

Go ActiPatch
