Did you know?

Poorly cleaned/disinfected surgical instruments are a source of nosocomial infections. This is why the storage and cleaning of surgical instruments are subject to strict protocols. Disinfection and sterilisation of reusable instruments are essential steps in preventing the risk of contamination. IDWs allow a proper cleaning and disinfection of the instruments using chemical and thermal processes.
