Infection Control

Infection Control

We implement four levels of infection control to eliminate any chances of cross contamination from patients to patients, doctor to patient and staff to patient.

  1. Fully automatic autoclave for sterilization
  2. Storage of instruments in special UV chamber
  3. Chemical disinfection of all surfaces
  4. Compulsory use of disposable gloves, face-masks, suction tips, needle syringes, drapes, plastic barrier and disposable plastic glasses etc. on a single use basis.
