A meaningful cost comparison must start with your practice’s data. This worksheet therefore assumes neither a disposable price, a number of VisionButler uses nor a resulting saving.
1 Record disposable consumption
Record the number of pieces used over a chosen period, the current unit price, shipping and disposal costs where you can measure them reliably. Total cost = pieces used × unit price + other evidenced costs.
2 Record reusable-option costs
Use the current order price, the actual number of pieces purchased and your own reprocessing cost. Do not assume a service period or cycle count; record them and retire each piece under the current instructions for use.
3 Compare the same period
Compare both options over the same period and the same number of procedures. Cost difference = evidenced disposable cost − evidenced reusable-option cost.
4 Interpret the result carefully
The result is specific to your practice and is not a guarantee of future savings. Keep measured costs separate from unmeasured benefits and update the calculation when prices or procedures change.
Conclusion
This website does not present a universal saving or payback period. Base the decision on current prices and your own operating data.
