On the 12th working day of Surgical Solutions’ Christmas, we’re taking a moment to pause and say THANK YOU!
Over the past twelve days, we’ve shared stories, insights, and moments of celebration as part of our 12 Days of Christmas series. But none of it would be complete without recognizing the people who make everything possible.
To the hospital teams, OR professionals, and SPD teams who show up every day behind the scenes, your dedication, precision, and commitment to patient care do not go unnoticed. Your work keeps hospitals running, surgeries moving forward, and patients safe, and we are incredibly grateful for all that you do.
We had a little fun as our Surgical Solutions Holiday Helper made his appearance every day for the past 12 days. Some downloaded him and made it fun for their hospital or workplace. He was popping up to spread cheer, spark conversation, and keep things festive throughout the month. From there, he helped us mix a bit of holiday spirit with meaningful education and insight for the teams who keep hospitals running every day.
Along the way, we shared:
A reminder that single-use device disposal isn’t one-size-fits-all, and why proper disposal matters for safety and compliance
A behind-the-scenes look at how OpsGuard helps turn OR and SPD data into clear, actionable insights
And more stories, tips, and moments designed to support hospital, OR, and SPD teams during one of the busiest times of the year
For our final day, we’ve gathered all twelve posts in one place—so whether you followed along daily or are catching up now, you can revisit each moment at your own pace.
For our final day, we’ve gathered all twelve days of our Christmas series in one place. Whether you followed along each day or are just catching up now, we hope this collection brings a moment of reflection, appreciation, and holiday cheer.
Our Clinical Educator, Fred Westermeyer shared some great tips on proper disposal of SUDs. Read the blog here.
On the 11th Working Day of Surgical Solutions’ Christmas, our Holiday Helper took a look back at our most recent webinar—and what attendees are actually taking back to their facilities.
Here’s what stood out most:
Top takeaways from our latest webinar:
Stronger communication between OR & SPD
Breaking silos through cross-department shadowing and observation
More intentional collaboration and visibility
Simple but meaningful staff recognition and empowerment
Using KPIs and trend tracking to spot issues earlier
One theme came through loud and clear:
👉 Better communication + collaboration = better days.
If these insights resonate, we’d love to keep the conversation going.
Our January 15 OR Today webinar builds on these same themes, sharing practical, real-world strategies to help teams start the new year with more readiness, predictability, and momentum.

(Holiday Helper can neither confirm nor deny he’s taking notes for 2026… 😉)
