I just had the chance to use the remanufactured Restore Robotics scissor. I have to say it worked perfectly. You couldn't tell anything was different from a factory fresh instrument.

Dr. Eugene Dickens, Hillcrest Medical Center

When we used the Remanufactured Monopolar Scissors it performed just like a new instrument out of the box, there was no discernable difference between the Restore instrument and a new one.
