The missing piece.
In the sterile processing department, a pair of forceps is missing from a tray. To identify it, there's a printed list with codes that no longer match the current catalog.

Surgical instruments
Catalog, content, and digital structure for surgical instrument companies, where a single piece can have a code, a common name, and a synonym, and may belong to more than one set.
What was the code for the forceps missing from the tray?
Common situations for surgical instrument companies
The misspelled name.
Someone searches for “Metzembaum,” with an m. The site search finds nothing, and the person assumes the company doesn't carry those scissors.
Manual data entry.
Adding a line means entering hundreds of codes one by one, with descriptions copied from a spreadsheet. A typo gets published anyway.
Where we can start working together
Every code, findable by any of its names.
Every company comes in with its information in a different state. We start with whatever creates the most friction for people looking for it, then organize the rest.
Digital medical device catalog
Product pages by code, navigation by specialty and instrument type, and each set with a list of its components.
Content architecture
How instruments, sets, sizes, and documents relate, and which synonyms the site search needs to recognize.
AI assistant for finding products and documents
For anyone who can describe the instrument but doesn't remember its code.
Process automation
Adding and updating codes from the company's spreadsheet or system, with human review before publishing.FAQ
Can the site search handle typos and synonyms?
It can be set up for that: eponyms with their variants, descriptions, and codes with or without hyphens. The list comes from how users actually search, and it grows with use.
Where do the cleaning and sterilization instructions go?
Next to each code, with its version. The company and its technical team define what gets published and who can access it; our job is to make sure the sterile processing department can find those instructions from the instrument page.
