Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) are at the forefront of delivering efficient, high-quality urologic care. The right selection of instruments and equipment is critical for optimizing patient outcomes, streamlining workflows, and maintaining cost-effectiveness. At Minerva Health, we’re committed to supporting ASCs with a comprehensive portfolio of top urology instruments designed for reliability, precision, and ease of use.

With the shift of up to 80% of urologic surgeries to outpatient settings, having access to advanced, ergonomic, and sterile tools is essential for safe, same-day care and rapid patient recovery.
