Safe Surgical Environment

Infection rates in hospitals are something we frequently read about in the newspapers but there are systems that you can put in place to ensure that the theatre environment is clean and safe to minimize this infection risk.

At The Medical Eye Clinic no expense is spared in the quest for patient safety.

The Medical Eye Clinic has a bespoke air filtration system to ensure that not only is the temperature comfortable for surgery but that dirty air from outside does not mix with the surgically clean air of the theatre. This Air Handling Unit is constantly “cleaning” the air to ensure our surgical environment is safe for our patients. Our Air Handling Unit is HTM compliant and has been inspected by the Care Quality Commission.

The walls of our theatre have been painted with a special theatre-spec substance and all the joins in the floor, walls and ceiling have been sealed so that the entire surgery area basically has its own climate.
