Sterility is the foundation of surgery
Sterility is the most basic requirement of surgery and can affect whether an operation succeeds.
It is especially important in orthopedic and oncologic surgery, where implants are often used, so a well-equipped surgical environment and sterilization system matter.
Our operating rooms are sterile positive-pressure rooms designed to the standard for operating rooms that treat critically ill human patients —
meeting the high-risk operating room criteria set out in Korea's Medical Service Act.
A positive-pressure system helps keep bacteria out of the operating room,
and an MCU (Medical Clean Unit) system recirculates the internal air 20 times an hour without drawing in outside air.
High-performance HEPA filters remove 99.97% of bacteria and fine particles, helping to reduce the risk of infection.
The rooms also have dedicated air handling, anti-static ceiling and wall finishes, and sterilization equipment —
the basics that support a successful operation.
