How Hygienic Are The Medical Equipments That Will Be Used On You Next Time?

Have any of us ever really contemplated on the hygiene of the various medical equipment which doctors, surgeons, dentists, nurses and other health care workers use on us? No! We just assume that what ever medical equipment and more specific surgical equipment, used on us will be sterile and hygienic and it never or at least hardly ever even cross our minds or do we question this highly serious facet of your medical treatment. Even worse, while we are in surgery, we will never know or rather do not want to know how sterile or clean the medical equipment is.

Well, be rest assured, we never really had any reason to worry before, and with new improved technology, we can put our fears and wandering thoughts at ease thanks to even better ways to sterilize medical equipment. Due to some British research recently, a new type of sensor has been developed that will display to surgeons, doctors or other users of sterile medical equipment, that the instrument are not 100% up to standard of sterilization for use.

This new sensory device makes use of sound waves with high frequency that flow through the disinfectant that the medical equipment is placed in. Due to the high frequency, bubbles are created that burst out. The vigor of each burst of these bubbles causes the microscopic contamination to loosen up from the medical equipments and become sterile as such.

Cavitation, as the process is called, is not new to doctors and the other users of sterile medical equipment and has always been regarded as an effective and sufficient method of sterilizing medical or surgical equipment to required medical standards.

However, in spite of the effectiveness of the cavitation process, it was not possible, until this recent British research, to quantify or determine how effective this cavitation process is and to what extend it is effective.

The solution came with this sensory equipment that “listen” to the busting sound of the bubbles as they burst out. This enables the user of these medical equipments to know exactly how much of the cavitation process have been done at that specific time and location. It can be used on new or used medical equipment.
