Start of the autoclaving and sterilization process of medical instruments. The equipment is loaded to ensure complete sterility before use in procedures.

​STERILIZATION

Before introducing successful examples from my podiatric practice, I would like to draw your attention to my approach to cleanliness, sterility in work, antiseptic treatment and sterilization of all instruments and materials used, as well as the working area requiring direct manipulation during the procedures.

The foot care procedures in podiatry are similar to mini-operations. Patients often come with abscesses, and the condition of the feet is accompanied by microcracks and skin damage. From bacteria such as tuberculosis to viruses such as hepatitis, HIV, and fungal infections - all of this is part of my professional reality. For this reason, all stages of care and disinfection are strictly adhered to and rigorously controlled. Allow me to introduce you to the step-by-step process of disinfection in my practice before the start of each procedure.

Sequence of sterilization of instruments. At the first stage, the instruments are thoroughly cleaned from skin residues, nail dust and blood using a cleaning solution with a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide, then washed under running water.

#1 Sterilization process

The instruments are thoroughly cleaned of any remnants of skin, nail dust, and blood using a washing solution with a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide, after which they are rinsed under running water.

The second stage of sterilization of instruments. They are placed in a solution of disinfectant ANIOSYME DD1 (France) or its equivalent for at least 30 minutes, after which they are washed again with water. ANIOSYME DD1 has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses and fungi

#2 Sterilization process

The instruments are then placed in a solution of the disinfectant ANIOSYME DD1 (France) or an equivalent for a minimum of 30 minutes, after which they are again rinsed with water. ANIOSYME DD1 is an agent with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, including bacteria (including mycobacterium tuberculosis), viruses (hepatitis, HIV, herpes, poliomyelitis), and fungi (genera Candida, Trichophyton).

​

The third stage of instrument sterilization. The instruments are autoclaved, the most reliable method of sterilizing surgical instruments. A class B vacuum autoclave is used, specially designed for sterilizing hollow and porous instruments and materials.

#3 Sterilization process

After this, the instruments are sterilized by the method of autoclaving. This process is considered the most reliable method for sterilizing surgical instruments. We use a Class B vacuum autoclave. This autoclave is specifically designed for sterilizing hollow and porous instruments and materials.

​

The fourth stage of instrument sterilization. Sterilized instruments are placed in a special box with a working bactericidal ultraviolet lamp and then packed in sterile disposable bags. Bactericidal lamps disinfect the air and surfaces in the room, and also sterilize objects and medical instruments.

#4 Sterilization process

The sterilized instruments are placed in a special box with an operating bactericidal ultraviolet lamp and then packed in sterile disposable bags. Bactericidal lamps disinfect the air and surfaces in the room, and sterilize objects and medical instruments.

​

The fifth stage of sterilization of instruments. Before the beginning of the procedures, the instruments are treated with an antiseptic agent, such as BACILLOL AF (Germany), or a similar product to ensure safety. BACILLOL AF is effective against hepatitis B, C, HIV, tuberculosis, staphylococci and other bacteria.

#5 Sterilization process

Before starting the procedures, the instruments are treated with an antiseptic agent such as BACILLOL AF (Germany) or a similar product to ensure safety. BACILLOL AF is effective against hepatitis B, C, HIV, tuberculosis, Staphylococcus, and other bacteria.

​

The sixth stage of sterilization of instruments. The area to be manipulated is treated with a product such as CUTASEPT F (Germany) or equivalent to prevent infection from the patient's microflora. A solution of chlorhexidine gluconate is also used to provide antiseptic properties.

#6 Sterilization process

The area subject to manipulation is treated with a product like CUTASEPT F (Germany), or an equivalent, to prevent the patient's microflora from causing an infection. A chlorhexidine gluconate solution is also used for its antiseptic properties.

​

In my practice, I also actively use medical disposable gloves of increased density and aprons. Wet cleaning of the office is carried out after each patient using disinfectants. My work clothes are washed daily, and shoes are treated.

I am confident that the risk of infection is eliminated in my office. Your health is my 100% guarantee
