Project Transforming surgical instrument decontamination towards carbon negative operating theatres
Description

Every year in the UK 75 million surgical instruments need to be pre-cleaned to remove tenacious contaminates prior to automated washing. Until now that has been a manual process, where staff wear full PPE to protect against contaminated sharp instruments and aerosols. It's dangerous, back breaking, time consuming, expensive, environmentally damaging, labour intensive, difficult work.
The Tiny Air automated system almost entirely eliminates the need for manual pre-cleaning.Tiny Air have developed an automated system to pre-clean a set of surgical instruments in 2 minutes. The system uses cold water only, no detergent, eliminates contaminated aerosols, reduces hazards and protects workforce, reduces rewash, integrates into decontamination unit workflow, helps to prevent Hospital Acquired Infections improves cleaning efficacy and efficiency, increasing sterile services production ad capacity.
