Clean air bench. Use for sterile maintenance of unwrapped surgical instruments.

Microbiologic sterility of unwrapped surgical instruments has been maintained for long periods by the use of an operating room instrument cabinet that continuously circulates high-flow, "particle-free" air. Use of this clean air bench has had excellent acceptance by operating room nurses and by surgeons because fewer instrument storage procedures are needed and setup time, takedown time, and case turnover time in the operating room are diminished. It has been found to be effective in operating rooms having busy schedules for both elective and emergency procedures.

[Comparison of cryogenic support systems of surgical instruments for the local destruction of large biological tissue lesions].

Of two types of systems for cryogenic support (SCS) of surgical instruments made with open and closed contours those of the discharge type meet to a greater extent basic requirements on the SCS as concerns destruction of extensive areas of the biological tissue. These SCS permit it more readily to withstand optimal conditions of cooling, can secure better reliability in performing operations, offer greater possibilities for unification of parts in packing up the set and for covering a wider range of operations. In cases when it is important to provide for self-containment and a longer period of continuous operation the application of the SCS with a closed contour is more advisable.

Surgical instruments and dressings: an information service.

A regional information service on surgical equipment, instruments, and dressings is proposed that would be staffed by information scientists. It would appreciably reduce the time spent on administration and make the buying of equipment more efficient. Such a service could be extended to all health service staff.
