Reducing the risk of postoperative veterinary infections with a laminar flow

Veterinary surgery and reducing the risk of postoperative wound infection

(firmenpresse) - Postoperative veterinary infection (POI) is a common problem in veterinary surgery especially in orthopedic surgery. With the duration of the operation increases also the risk of an postoperative surgical wound infection. Small numbers of organisms are sufficient to cause implant infections, which give rise to a considerable degree of morbidity and also mortality. The introduction of laminar airflow systems has greatly reduced infection in orthopedic implant surgery. Laminar flow, as opposed to turbulent flow, allows airborne particles to pass the operating area and prevent them from landing in the wound area. Fixed laminar air flow systems are extremely expensive and therefore quite not affordable for many veterinary surgeons. With the new Toul mobile laminar airflow unit it has become possible to use laminar airflow also for veterinary surgery at an affordable price thus offering good hygienic conditions for veterinary operating rooms. Toul mobile laminar airflow units have been used in Scandinavia since 2001, providing an ultraclean, horizontal flow of air directly over the surgical site and instruments and acting as a barrier to minimize the presence of bacteria-carrying particles at the wound and on the instruments.

Toul is positioned very close to the operating field and therefore it is possible to reduce the contamination level up to 95 % for the operating field and instruments by just using one mobile unit. Toul laminar air flow minimizes the risk of postoperative infections (especially during long operations) via an ultraclean laminar airflow (LAF) equipped with high efficiency particulate air filter that prevent bacterial contamination.

The danger from hospital infections is worsening because, increasingly, they cannot be cured with commonly used antibiotics. In 1974, only 2% of Staphylococcus aureus infections in the USA were MRSA (methicillin-resistant). By 2003, that figure had s ...
