9. Sep-T-Vac filter: Sep-T-Vac Filter
Gore Tex Hydrophobic shut-off filter. Gore Tex is moisture sensitive and it automatically stops aspiration when collected liquid is at the top of the chamber.
It is not a mechanical system an it prevents also micro-particles and aerosol leakages

17. Yankauers Main Features
Tip: different shapes and distal hole section to better fit customers needs
Fine: Accurate aspirations with low quantity of fluids (mini-invasive surgical procedures. ie: neurosurgery and oftalmic)
Regular: General surgery
Large: High suction volume (to use after washing procedures and with high volume to drain)

18. Yankauers Main Features
Extra Large: to suction high volume of fluids, blood clots, bony fragments in short time
Sump tip: to avoid the bony fragments and organic residuals suction (preferred in orthopaedic surgery)
Bulbe tip:it is used as dissector and retractor instrument
Flat tip:indicated for suctioning in difficult manoeuvrability situations and to suction in short places

42. Prevent Nosocomial Infection

43. Prevent Nosocomial Infections
 sources of infection
endogene germs
patien-own germs
exogene germs
direct contact (hands of staff)
indirect contact (equipment, med. products, air)
 because of these reasons there are no hospitals without nosocomial infections !

44. Prevent Nosocomial Infections
 most important reasons for nosocomial infections
spreading of resistent pathogenes
increasing disposition of the patients
increasing exposition to bacteria with burst of the body defense
ignoring of the hygiene measures
non correct use of the products
rising average age of our patients

45. Prevent Nosocomial Infections Main NI
Airway infections (30%)
Urinary tract infections (30%)
Surgical wound infections (15%)
Blood infections (5%)
Gastrointestinal infections (5%)
Others (15%)
