Hadassah Operating Rooms dispose of all linens
16/02/2008


An operating room cannot be disposable, but all the linen that is used in it can be, as can all cloth products, including the clothes the surgeons and nurses wear The operating rooms at Hadassah turned "cloth-less" recently. This quality project started some 3 years ago in a pilot project in the Mt. Scopus campus, and having proved successful, it was extended to all operating rooms at Hadassah Medical OrganisationBy using disposables instead of cloth products, managing the ORs became easier, there are fewer infections, and the patients as well as the staff feel more comfortable.
