Cairn Technology at ASGBI Congress 2023

The Congress 2023 also provides an opportunity to network, and a chance for manufacturers to demonstrate the latest innovations in surgical equipment and technique.

Cairn Technology will be there, exhibiting on Stand No. 31.

Here’s a short preview of what we’ll be bringing to the Congress.

Stille Surgical Instruments

No matter how the world of surgery will evolve in the coming years, one thing will always be true: Positive surgical outcomes begin with quality surgical instruments.

At ASGBI Congress 2023 we’ll be exhibiting the Stille range of precision-engineered surgical instruments. Each of these instruments is individually handcrafted through over 70 individual steps to give the world’s surgical elite a lifetime of perfection.

Warrantied for 30 years of use, the range includes the original SuperCut scissors, providing precision cutting to the very tip, as well as an exceptional range of stainless steel and titanium micro-instruments. From orthopaedic and cardiothoracic surgery, to plastic and ENT surgery, these exceptional instruments provide precision, durability and balance for optimum handling and performance.

Learn more about the Stille range of surgical instruments.

Absorbent Mats for Hospitals

Our ultra-efficient absorbent mats are perfect for most applications, whether that’s capturing fluids during surgical procedures or containing splashes during cleaning processes.

At the ASGBI Congress 2023 we’ll be exhibiting the T-Mat, which is available exclusively from Cairn Technology. It’s capable of absorbing up to 8.5 litres of water or 3.5 litres of saline. It gels liquids within minutes, becoming dry to the touch. And because the fluid’s bound hygienically, it makes for easy non-drip disposal in clinical waste.

A cleaner surgical environment reduces the risk of cross-infection while avoiding spills that could lead to slips and falls. And as it makes for faster and more effective cleaning, the T-Mat can also serve to reduce your turnaround time between procedures. So come and talk to us at ASGBI Congress 2023, and we’ll demonstrate how a simple absorbent mat can make a huge difference to your cleanliness, efficiency, and infection control.

Talk to Cairn Technology at ASGBI Congress 2023

Stop by for a chat at Stand No. 31 at ASGBI Congress 2023 on  17 – 19 May 2023 at Harrogate International Centre.

Infection Prevention and Control Conference 2022: Cairn offers hospitals breath of fresh air

/in , /by

State-of-the-art air purification technology will be taking centre stage on the Cairn Technology stand at the Infection, Prevention and Control Conference 2022.

Blueair HealthProtect™ 7740i Air Purifier

Using patent-pending filtration technology, the Blueair HealthProtect™ 7740i Air Purifier provides complete filtration of hospital rooms of up to 62 m² at the industry recommended rate of 4.8x an hour.

The purifier combines electrostatic and mechanical filtration to catch 99.97% of particles down to 0.1 microns, including viruses and bacteria. What’s more, its HEPASilent Ultra™ filtration technology delivers 50% more clean air (1), uses 55% less energy and has a 10% lower noise than traditional true HEPA filtration (2).

Even while left on standby, the 7740i proactively monitors your room and kills (3) viruses and bacteria, whilst the system’s omni-directional airflow circulates clean air to every corner of the room.

The purifier’s SmartFilter consists of one particle filter layer and one active carbon filter layer, which combine to remove gas, odours, smoke, VOCs, exhaust, smog, and chemicals from the air.

The SmartFilter’s performance is tracked through the Blueair App, which notifies staff when it is time to replace it. The app also allows staff to set speed control options, enable Auto and Night modes and change the On/Off timer.

An intuitive 5-colour indicator bar on 7740i purifier also gives quick updates on particle and gas levels, and a numerical display quantifies the levels for PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 particles.

Absorbent floor mats for operating theatres and scrub rooms

In addition to the HealthProtect™ 7740i Air Purifier, Cairn Technology will be exhibiting its absorbent floor mats for operating theatres and scrub rooms. These include the innovative T-Mat which is the most absorbent floor mat on the market. Turning up to 8.5litres of fluid to gel within seconds, these non-drip mats avoid cross-infection, allowing for safe and easy disposal in clinical waste.

Also helping to control infection, Cairn Technology’s DryMax Sterile mats are useful for burns, endoscopy and arthroscopy departments that are looking for a mat that can safely be used next to the patient’s body.

In addition, information will be available on Cairn Technology’s Biohazard Spill Kits, Body Fluid Spill Kits and Sterile Services Cleanroom Testing.

Come see us at the Infection Prevention and Control Conference 2022

If you are visiting IPC 22, which takes place at the National Conference Centre, Birmingham, then please come and see us on our stand, no. 16. You can also arrange an appointment if you want to meet up with us at a specific time. Just call us on 0333 015 4345.
