Total Annual Cost of Post-Surgical Complications across UHN facilities
Chronic Open Surgical Incision
25,000 surgeries occur annually at UHN. HOCI reduced incision closure failures from 81% to 25%—a 69% drop—yielding $116 million in annual savings.
6,036 DFU-related amputations occur annually in Canada. The average cost per DFU amputation is $49,000. HOCI reduces ampution rates by 50%.
Savings are a direct result of treatment using HOCI instead of saline/Dakin's solution. Use of HOCI also reduced avg. length of hospital stay by 11 days.
In our calculation, the reduction in avg. heal time by treating with HOCI instead of saline was 84.74%, however, we chose to assume a more conservative reduction (62%) accounting for possible inforeseen variables.
