Proper nutrition before surgery is a key component of any successful ERAS® program. On average, a true ERAS® program can reduce length of stay (LOS) in the hospital by 1-3 days.[1]
A hospital pays a national average of $2,200 per day in expenses for an inpatient stay.[2]

ClearFast costs just $8 per patient (for 2 bottles). Use our calculator below to see the financial savings that a robust, system wide ERAS® program can yield
