Bone Structure01:55

Bone Structure

Within the skeletal system, the structure of a bone, or osseous tissue, can be exemplified in a long bone, like the femur, where there are two types of osseous tissue: cortical and cancellous.
Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
Bone Remodeling and Repair01:31

Bone Remodeling and Repair

Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during bone...

    Summary

    Standardizing bone and tissue products in surgical facilities can reduce costs. Perioperative nurses and managers can achieve this by understanding product processing and FDA requirements, leading to better financial health.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Administration
    • Surgical Technology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Surgical facilities maintain extensive inventories of diverse bone and bone products.
    • Cost containment is a significant financial driver in modern healthcare.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline strategies for standardizing bone and tissue products in surgical settings.
    • To demonstrate how standardization can lead to cost reduction.

    Main Methods:

    • Familiarization with bone product harvesting, processing, and FDA approval requirements.
    • Establishing multidisciplinary surgical product use committees.
    • Limiting the number of tissue vendors.
    • Conducting comprehensive product inventories.
    • Developing informational charts for surgeons.
