The cleansing power of steam
It seems that such a simple concept, yet this very concept has probably been responsible for saving many thousands if not millions of lives over the past few years. This simple concept is to use steam in order to clean surgical instruments through the use of Steam Autoclaves, a very simple piece of equipment which essentially covers surgical instruments in steam in order to get rid of every trace of bacteria and infection. Every single operating theater and hospital now uses one of these machines in order to make sure that surgical procedures are carried out in a highly sterilized environment.
