9.3%
of surgical cases had at least one defective tray
A sterile-processing study recorded 3,900 tray defects across 41,799 cases.

EXTERNAL EVIDENCE · NOT GROFLEX RESULTS
Published research quantifies the operational friction around trays, instruments and procedure readiness.
These studies document the friction around a procedure-critical supply decision. Groflex is designed to govern the gap between the signal, the available response and the accountable handoff.
>50%
of documented instrument-error cases experienced a delay
A 2024 study reported an average delay of 10.16 minutes where delay data was available.

maximum equipment-incident rate reported across studied sites
Incidents included instruments, devices and preparation-stage failures.

THE BUYING QUESTION
When a hospital request becomes urgent, who assembles the facts and owns the decision?
Groflex sits above the distributor’s existing systems. It joins the operational context, compares feasible responses, checks the authority policy and preserves the approved handoff.

THE ENGAGEMENT
A bounded first engagement
Start with a bounded historical dataset. The free Exposure Check shows the planning exposure; a controlled pilot then tests one governed workflow and produces a dated decision on whether to expand.
- 01Classify the exception
- 02Measure decision response
- 03Record cost and service impact
- 04Decide on production
Groflex is currently pre-revenue with no production deployments. Controlled validations use customer-provided data. A signed Japanese distributor LOI has unconfirmed commercial scope and timing.
