What it is and how it works
Every instrument set goes through washing, disinfection, packing and steam sterilisation in an autoclave. The effectiveness of the process is confirmed by chemical indicators on every pack and by periodic biological tests. The packs carry an expiry date and reach the theatre through an airlock.
What it offers
For the animal and the owner
A wound infection is a complication that does not appear on the price list but costs the most: in time, money and the animal's health. Documented sterilisation is the cheapest insurance.
In the diagnostic process
A written record of the instrument flow makes it possible to trace which set was used to operate on a given patient, part of STD-05.
