Penile prosthesis implantation remains an effective and acceptable treatment for the significant number of men who fail to respond to nonsurgical therapy. The most serious complication that can affect the use of most prosthetic devices is infection. In penile prostheses, this can be devastating and frequently results in removal of the device despite aggressive antibiotic therapy. Toul can be used to minimize the risk of postoperative infections also in obstetrics and gynecology. Most surgical infections are acquired intraoperatively. The risk of postoperative surgical infections is related to the degree of bacterial contamination acquired from the skin or nasal flora of the operating team, or from contaminated material or instruments in the operating theatre. An English Study from Whyte has been estimated that almost 70% of bacteria found in the patient‘s wound s come directly or indirectly from the instruments. There is a clearly relationship between the quality of the air and the degree of sepsis encountered. In an conventional operating room you can expect about 50 to 200 CFU/m3. This number is rising the more people are in the operating room and the longer the operation last
The risk of postoperative infection is increasing with the duration of the operation. A few seconds are sufficient to contaminate the sterile instrument. Most instruments in the operating rooms are located outside the area of Hepa filters and are newly contaminated by the duration of the operation and the number of theatre staff in the O.R.
Toul instrument table maintains the sterility of the instruments even during long operations and reduces therefore the risk of an surgical site infection SSI. This instrument table provides a horizontal ultraclean laminar airflow which is directed directly over the instruments, acting as a barrier and minimizing the presence of bacteria-carrying particles at the instruments
