Success Story - Aesculap Managed Service (SAM Fleet Care) for sterile containers

Glens Falls Hospital – 7th November, 2022

The first Fleet Management (Aesculap Managed Service) container programme is implemented in the United States at Glens Falls Hospital in Hudson Falls, NY.

The vision was to get Glens Falls containerised with new Aesculap sterile containers, with the goal of reducing blue wrap usage. With the Fleet Management program, the Glens Falls Hospital was provided with 570 brand new Aesculap containers including implementation and technical service for a fixed monthly fee.
