Dear Joseph

Did you read the ASHCSP / IAHCSMM "Position Paper on Managment of Loaner Instrumentation and Implant" on our Communication page?
In the Journal Archive of the Sterilizing Research & Advisory Council of Australia New South Wales (SRACA NSW) you can find several papers from a joint project about Loan Sets put together by Rosslyn Fowler: www.sracansw.org.au/Journals/Journal_Archive/winter00.pdf

Good luck!

Dear,

On our Education pages under: d. Conference Lectures, EFHSS Conference 2002 you find a paper of Rene Vis on the Dutch position on loan instruments.

Kind regards,
Wim Renders

Joseph, I just came across the Web site for Sterilizing Research Advisory Council of Australia (Vic) and found an excellent Presentation on Loan Set, by Anne Hardy. Have a look at:
