A Combo HEPA and UV in One Portable Unit
for the OR
Standard room air exchanges are not enough for today's busy
and crowded OR. The Illuvia HEPA-Ultraviolet Air Recirculation
System (HUAIRS) from Aerobiotix has a patented internal UV
system combined with HEPA filtration and contamination-
collecting cartridge technology, designed for a surgical OR. The
Illuvia HUAIRS produces a directed, nonturbulent flow of air
filtered to remove particulate matter and microorganisms,
providing an area free of contaminants to reduce surgical
infection rates. The Illuvia HUAIRS boasts a medical-grade
HEPA filter (Cleanroom-grade HEPA filtration 99.87% rated),
shielded internal germicidal UV system, and a disposable
performance cartridge. Independently tested to eliminate
>99.9% of viruses, bacteria and spores.

This Skin Cleanser is Proven to Reduce SSI
Help protect patients from surgical site infections by prescribing
perioperative showering with Molnlycke's Hibiclens
antibacterial soap. The powerful 4% chlorhexidine gluconate
solution begins to kill pathogens on contact and binds to the
skin, creating a germ-killing field that eliminates nearly all
pathogens for up to 24 hours. In one study, the use of Hibiclens
decreased superficial SSls by 67%. Hibiclens also works as a
skin prep, surgical scrub and handwashing soap. Repeated
use enhances effectiveness. It's available in 4oz, 8oz and 16oz
bottles at major retailers.
