Six Surface Disinfection Concepts
The puzzle of superior surface disinfection is never solved....
Advanced Digital Imaging
The Image 1 endoscopic video camera from Karl Storz delivers pure digital imaging that realistically renders patient anatomy for the cleanest, sharpest images. Unlike other systems that convert analog images to digital in the camera box, the Image 1 converts optical images to digital at the CCD sensing chip in the camera head. Digital Source Sampling (DSS) has the added benefit of minimizing image artifacts while reducing environmental influences such as that from an electrosurgical generator. The system comes with a one-year no-fault warranty. The U.S. list price ranges from $20,000 to $30,000 based on the system that you order.

Disinfection with less glutaraldehyde
Sporicidin Sterilizing Solution can disinfect your instruments with less glutaraldehyde. The high-level disinfectant contains only 1% glutaraldehyde, the least of any FDA-cleared sterilant. The solution contains a phenol/ phenate buffer, which, according to the company, enhances the effectiveness of the glutaraldehyde. It can still high-level disinfect instruments and equipment in 20 minutes. It also can be re-used for up to 14 days. And because it contains less glutaraldehyde, it is safer for your instruments, equipment and staff. A case of 16 quarts of Sporicidin Sterilizing Solution lists for $119.84. A case of four gallons lists for $99.96.

Biodex's Fixed Height Surgical C-Arm Table is a versatile, low-cost imaging table. The carbon-fiber tabletop offers a large radiolucent area - 75-inches long by 24-inches wide. And because the table has no cross beams between its two C-shaped supports, you get full head-to-toe fluoroscopic imaging of any size patient in any position. The C-arm table rolls on four locking casters, and it can hold a 500-pound patient. It lists for $5,995.
