Rugged Tags and Digital Platform—Smarter Instrument Safety, Zero Guesswork
Built for Sterilization. Designed for Human Factors.
Avenue’s rugged tags survive every cycle and deliver actionable team coordination—whether you’re using one kit or a thousand.
What Makes Avenue Different
- Start Small: Launch with a single tag or tray. Scale at your pace—no system replacements, no huge upfront buy-in.
- Autoclave-Proof, Custom-Brand Tags: Engineered to tolerate repeated reprocessing and custom-labeled for your department, vendor, or specialty.
- Integrated Platform—Not Just Tagging: Scan Avenue tags to launch step-by-step guides, access IFUs, log actions, flag requests, and communicate with the team in real time—on any device.
- On-the-Spot Microlearning: No other solution overlays live training, error alerts, or voice-activated lookup at every critical moment.
- Overlay, Not Rip-and-Replace: Run Avenue beside your current tracking or scheduling system—no IT drama required.
- Role-Smart Workflows: Avenue bridges everyone: SPD, OR, implant reps, risk managers, and leadership—all see and prevent issues together.
- Proof of Impact: Show error/delay reduction and financial value in weeks, so you can build an internal business case (no consultant needed).

Additional Ways Avenue Excels
Immediate Wins—Zero Disruption

Each stakeholder—rep, manager, hospital admin, or risk manager—gets features and reporting tailored to their needs.
Learning In the Workflow
Training and error prevention happen during real work—not separate from it.
No Double Tagging
Already using UID or barcode labels? Avenue links to them—no need for confusing or redundant stickers.
Easy Compliance and Audit Readiness
Automated event logs, step confirmations, and action trails beat spreadsheets, binders, or after-the-fact audits every time.
No Hidden IT/Legal Risk
Avenue never touches PHI and sits alongside current hospital infrastructure—fully regulatory and privacy aligned.
No Long Approval Cycle
Managers can pilot Avenue well within their standard purchasing authority—outcomes come first, not paperwork.
