About
IPT

Never before have we understood so much, yet known so little.

Because while data is collected and stored at a blistering pace, the challenge is this — how do you get your hands, and mind, on the information you need?

Especially when your goal is to eliminate chaos and waste in surgical healthcare settings.

Tracking the use, sterilization steps and location of instrument trays.

Using operating rooms to their fullest potential.

Enabling compliance.

We are a health technology company focused on those very things.

Helping you drive profitability by delivering actionable analytics that identify and allow for perioperative waste reduction.

We’re IPT.

There’s never been a better time to know.
