Quality for hygiene also means that we use only one-way material for surgery. This is not yet standard, although European standards recommend using only one way material ( EN 13975-1. ). We take care and do everything to prevent possible contamination by bacteria, or hepatitis B or HIV.

It is known that major contamination of MRSA is from the patient himself/herself. For patients with history of long hospital stays we recommend culture (bacteriology) of nose and throat prior two weeks of scheduled surgery.

Lamina-air flow conditions mean nearly clean air is in the operating room. Doors close and open by automatic sensor, so ” dirty air” should not come in. The patient takes care of his/hers personal hygiene by: showering in the morning and removing hair in the surgery fields as instructed, cutting finger-nails. Personal clothing is taken off in the changing room also to prevent contamination. Of course we do disinfect before surgery and have the concept of antibiotic prophylaxis.

For all these procedures we still cannot neglect the risk of infection, which is overall (hospital and outpatient treatment) about 1-3%. But we guarantee that with all measurement possible to us we provide highest standards of hygiene.
