Toul 300 sterile instrument table maintains the sterility of the instruments and implants

A main problem especially in long operations is the contamination of surgical instruments due to human presence and their activity within the operating room. An English Study from Whyte has been estimated that almost 70% of bacteria found in the patient‘s wound s come directly or indirectly from the instruments. There is a clearly relationship between the quality of the air and the degree of sepsis encountered. Under normal circumstances, the main source of airborne microbial contaminants is microscopic skin fragments given off by staff in theatre. In an conventional operating room you can expect about 50 to 200 CFU/m3. This number is rising the more people are in the operating room and the longer the operation last. As few as 10 colony forming units (CFU/m3) are sufficient to cause a deep infection*. Gosden PE, Mac GowanAP Bannister GC J. Hosp Infect 1998;

Toul instrument table maintains the sterility of the instrument table even during long operations and reduces therefore the risk of an surgical site infection SSI.

In many surgical rooms the instruments are not protected during operations because they are located outside the laminar airflow
