"These unknown professionals, almost as invisible as the microbial fire-breathers they make a living removing from surgical instrumentation, are often located in the basement of your local hospital. On a daily basis, they are the teams decontaminating, washing, inspecting, testing, packaging, and sterilizing the very surgical instrumentation used in every procedure from routine C-sections to heart transplants. If you, or a loved one, have undergone surgery, this team had a major part to play in it.
No matter how skilled a surgeon or how experienced a nursing staff, without a high performing Sterile Processing team every single surgical patient could be put at risk for acquiring painful, and many times, deadly surgical site infections. If the Sterile Processing department doesn't do their job, no one else can do it for them." - written by Hank Balch
Wishing you and your team a Happy World Sterilization Sciences day!
