Three new washer-disinfectors purchased, operating room refurbished
Niagara Health says improvements have been made to the operating suites in Welland.
Over the past two weeks, three new washer-disinfectors have been purchased.
"By investing in the refurbishment of the Operating Room environment, as well as installing three new washer disinfectors in the Medical Device Reprocessing area, Niagara Health is demonstrating its continued commitment to offering safe quality care for our patients in the Niagara Region," says Jaelynn Sonke, Director, Patient Care, Surgical Services, CNO GNGH/DMH, and Nursing Administration.
The units cost a total of $437,000, with the help of donations from the community and the Niagara Health Foundation.
As well, the operating room has been refurbished, which included stripping off the old wallpaper, re-painting the walls and trim and applying new panels on the walls in the operating room hallway.
Both the operating room and the medical device reprocessing department at the site are now fully functioning.
