Sterilisation

• We have a purpose designed sterilisation room, staffed by a dedicated full time Sterilisation nurse.
• Wherever possible, we use disposable items.
• Tray systems are used. This ensures that all contamination is contained.
• No instruments are cleaned or sterilised in surgery.
• We operate a sequential sterilisation system which ensures that sterile instruments never come in contact with non sterile items.
• All surgery surfaces are disinfected between patients. Our antimicrobial solutions are effective against HIV, hepatitis and all common viruses.
• We operate a strict hand washing and disinfecting regime. Fresh gloves are worn by all staff for each patient procedure.
• All root canal instruments are single use and are then disposed.
• All specialised surgical procedures are carried out in operating theatre aseptic conditions.
• All staff are fully trained in the protocols. Regular review and updates are undertaken.
