Maximizing your ASC New Build: Smart Equipment Planning for Long Term Success

Maximizing your ASC New Build: Smart Equipment Planning for Long Term Success

Building an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) is an exciting but complex process. From securing your Certificate of Need (CON) to achieving Certificate of Occupancy (CO), every decision along the way impacts your timeline, budget, and long-term profitability. One of the most critical and often overlooked aspects of a successful buildout is early equipment planning.

At KenMed Surgical, we specialize in ASC equipment planning, ensuring that centers maximize their budget while avoiding costly missteps. Whether you’re a surgeon transitioning from a hospital environment or a multi-site management company, our expertise helps ASCs reduce costs, improve efficiency, and set up for long-term success.


Why Equipment Planning Starts Earlier Than You Think

Newer surgical groups begin thinking about equipment too late in the process, leading to avoidable design errors and unexpected costs. Ideally, equipment planning should begin as soon as you have your first architectural draft.

Here’s why:
Avoid Costly Design Mistakes – Small oversights, like misplaced floor drains or ceiling chiller pipes blocking OR lights, can lead to expensive redesigns.
Optimize Operational Flow – A well-planned layout improves workflow efficiency, ensuring equipment placement enhances, rather than hinders, procedures.
Ensure Seamless Installation – Proper planning ensures all equipment fits correctly and is ready for use on day one.

At KenMed Surgical, we don’t just fill rooms with equipment—we engineer solutions that align with your operational goals and long-term strategy.


Sticker Shock? Certified Refurbished Equipment Maximizes Your Budget

If you’re coming from a hospital environment, replicating the setup you’re used to with brand-new OEM equipment can be a financial shock. Many ASCs struggle with balancing quality with affordability—that’s where certified refurbished equipment becomes a game-changer.

Save 40-60% Over New Equipment – Without sacrificing reliability.
Current-Model, Patient-Ready Solutions – Equipment is fully tested and certified for immediate use.
Reallocate Savings – The money saved can be used for expansion, staffing, or advanced technology upgrades.
Conserve Startup & Maintenance Funds – Reducing upfront costs also means lower long-term service expenses.

At KenMed, we help ASCs integrate certified refurbished equipment strategically, ensuring a high-performance facility while keeping costs under control.


Why Downtime Is the Biggest Hidden Cost in Your ASC

The most expensive piece of equipment in your ASC is a broken one. Downtime disrupts schedules, frustrates surgeons, and directly impacts revenue. That’s why long-term performance should be a top priority in your equipment decisions.

🔹 Choose Equipment with Readily Available Parts – This prevents long delays if something needs servicing.
🔹 Invest in Easily Serviceable Models – Some brands require costly, proprietary repairs, while others allow third-party servicing at a fraction of the price.
🔹 Leverage Data to Make Smart PurchasesKenMed’s proprietary database of biomed service records ensures we recommend equipment with the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).

By choosing certified refurbished solutions from KenMed, ASCs can minimize unexpected breakdowns while maximizing long-term operational efficiency.
