Postoperative infections after transplantation
Toul is positioned very close to the operating field and therefore it is possible to reduce the contamination level up to 95 % for the operating field
Toul instrument table maintains the sterility of the instruments even during long operations and reduces therefore the risk of an surgical site infection SSI. The toul 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. It has been estimated that almost 70 % of bacteria found in patient’s wounds are transported indirectly via exposed instruments especially during long exposure time of instruments like in transplantation surgery.
Toul is equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air filter (Hepa H 14)and can be used to protect immunocompromised patients in case of the absence of clean rooms ( total protected environment (TPE) consisting of a high-efficiency-particulate-air (HEPA)-filtered laminar air flow room to prevent infections ( e.g. neutropenic patients). The unit is mobile and can be used in various rooms. No modification of existing hospital rooms is required.

Prevention and management of postoperative endophthalmitis
The decisive criterion of postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract operations or intravitreal injections is the contamination of the operating area and the instruments / implants with pathogens during the surgical procedure. In traditional operating theaters, the "sterility" is very limited and only given directly under the supply air ceiling. However, the surgical field is almost completely shielded from the ultra-clean air by the surgical microscope and the surgeon's head, so that…
Hospital infections
To fight against hospital infections and the more and more resistant bacteria’s it has been developed Toul Mobile Laminar Airflow. Laminar airflow systems has been used for many years in the operating rooms and have shown a significant reduction of surgical site infection. Unfortunately it was not possible to use this technology in most existing operating rooms due to huge installation and renovation costs.
Toul has therefore developed a new mobile…
The first sterile instrument table for the operating room
The danger from hospital infections is worsening because, increasingly, they cannot be cured with commonly used antibiotics. In 1974, only 2% of Staphylococcus aureus infections in the USA were MRSA (methicillin-resistant). By 2003, that figure had soared to 57%, and now is over 60%. To fight against hospital infections and the more and more resistant bacteria’s it has been developed Toul Mobile Laminar Airflow. Laminar airflow systems has been used…

Pacemaker implantation, implantable defibrillators and all other surgical procedures, involves the risk of infection. Infection remains the most common pacemaker-related complication after equipment failure and sensing and pacing defects. It is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality despite improved surgical techniques and the development of new pacemaker devices. If a pacemaker patient gets an infection the bacteria can persist even when the rest of the body is free of…
