Operating Theatre Cleaning ... Your First Weapon to Prevent SSI

"Surgical Site Infections" are amongst the most prevalent healthcare associated infections. Proper cleaning in the operating theatre is vital.

The operating theatre is one of the most important places in the hospital for thorough cleanliness.

This is definitely not a place to rely on overstretched in-house resources.

A recent UK prevalence survey found that "Surgical Site Infections" accounted for 14% of healthcare associated infections - and a staggering 5% of patients undergoing surgery developed a surgical site infection*.

You'll want a reliable, professional, properly resourced specialist cleaning service that will follow an established procedure ... and do so thoroughly and effectively.

A service that will conscientiously clean:

• floors - including corners and edges
• all horizontal surfaces
• examination couches
• furniture
• trolleys
• Mayo stands
• lights and canopy
• door handles
• ventilation grids

You'll want to arrange a regular schedule for your cleaning - covering all items that will need cleaning at different intervals.

You'll want to be sure that all operatives are properly trained, monitored and motivated.
