The SteriStay is a unique instrument table that protects your instruments and sterile products from airborne contamination. SteriStay is a mobile table that is adjustable in height. It can be used as a conventional instrument table, but with the important addition that the instruments will be supplied with continuous ultraclean airflow. Approximately 70% of the bacteria at wound sites come from surgical instruments that have been contaminated by airborne bacteria.
It provides an ultraclean air environment with <5 CFU/m3 air around your sterile instruments. By using a unique sterile shield as a protective barrier, the SteriStay can be placed close to the OR table.
The SteriStay instrument table is an asset to any surgical suite or procedure room for a wide variety of disciplines including ophthalmology, orthopaedics, cardiology, aesthetic and plastic surgery.
Prevention and cure of surgical site infections (SSIs) place an enormous burden on medical and financial resources, both during surgery and post-operative hospital care. SSIs generate costs for society and significant suffering for patients, often involving prolonged periods of hospitalisation, which in turn create additional costs. • > 90 % of airborne bacteria derives from the OR personnel. Every person sheds 10,000 skin particles per minute, where approximately 10% are bacteria carrying particles. • Many infections occur due to sterile instruments being left in the open air and then contaminated by airborne bacteria carrying particles.
