Planet Assembly - Don’t Fear the Repair: Empowering SPD Assembly to Act Early

What does your repair bin say about your department’s inspection process? This week, we sit down with Joseph Martin, Sterile Processing Manager at UCHealth, to talk about building a culture of repair in assembly. With over a decade of SPD experience as a technician, educator, and leader, Joseph shares how shifting repair from reaction to prevention—and giving techs the “why” behind inspection—can turn repair bins into tools for accountability, growth, and patient safety. From education that motivates to vendor partnerships that build trust, Joseph explains how teams can catch damage early, protect trays, and keep patients safe. Let this episode be your reminder: don’t fear the repair—embrace it, own it, and keep #FightingDirty one instrument at a time!
