Sterilization

Patients' safety is most important for us. This is why we have equipped our clinic with the newest devices for conducting and controlling materials' and instruments' sterilization. Strict abidance of the rules of sterilization considerably influences the quality of treatment, because it requires a daily use of unique, valuable devices, special disinfectants and a huge amount of convertible instruments which are necessary to ensure a complete cycle: treatment - sterilization - treatment. All dental instruments undergo a multiple controlled sterilization process in an autoclave Sterilclave 18B (Cominox). This device meets the strictest Polish and European standards regarding sterilization of dental instruments - sterilization with fractioned pulsed vacuum (EN 13060 Standard). During the process of sterilization all bacteria, viruses, fungi and their endospores are killed. Before the instruments are put in the autoclave, they are disinfected in special liquids, washed in special ultrasonic cleaners and then packed in hermetic packages which are closed in the bag sealer. The sterilization process is controlled for three times (1. printout from the autoclave computer, 2. control strip in the package with instruments 3. biological test placed in the autoclave chamber). Additionally, special biological tests are performed once a month at the Miocrobiologic Laboratory of Collegium Medicum Jagiellonian University.

Disinfection

Before every visit each surgery is disinfected. All surfaces which could have been in contact with germs are disinfected. Dental equipment as well as furniture are made of special materials and completely disinfected.
