Low-temperature sterilization has become essential in modern reprocessing. As surgical instrumentation grows more delicate and device portfolios expand, CSSD teams are required to deliver high levels of safety and consistency – all while maintaining efficient, validated, and reproducible workflows.

Modern healthcare is defined by rapid and continuous technological advances, with increasingly complex systems and medical devices entering routine clinical use. More invasive operations are performed globally – and with them, the risk of transmitting pathogenic microorganisms via contaminated equipment. Device-associated hospital-acquired infections are linked to prolonged hospital stays, increased risk of sepsis, and higher mortality in intensive care units. Sterilization of medical devices is therefore a cornerstone of hospital infection control.

Medical technology must be reliable – every day, in every situation. From diagnostic devices to complex life-sustaining systems, fully functioning equipment is essential for safe patient care, efficient hospital operations, and the protection of clinical staff.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a complex condition that is often difficult to diagnose. Despite advances in technology, too few cases are still detected in time. The lack of specific information often leads to delays in treatment, with the corresponding consequences.

The lives of critically ill patients with hemodynamic instability depend on making the right decision about the next therapeutic step. Advanced hemodynamic monitoring helps to find a targeted and patient-specific therapy.

Negli ultimi due decenni, l'ossigenazione extracorporea a membrana ha subito una notevole trasformazione. I progressi in termini di mobilità, integrazione dei sistemi ed esperienza clinica hanno ampliato i campi di applicazione e le modalità di utilizzo dell'ECMO, trasformandone il ruolo da intervento stazionario altamente specializzato a forma di supporto vitale ampiamente applicabile nella terapia intensiva moderna.

Transpulmonary pressure monitoring is an important part of clinical monitoring for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), COPD, COVID-19,morbid obesity, and other respiratory diseases that require invasive ventilation.

La Centrale di Sterilizzazione è uno dei reparti meno visibili ma più strategici all’interno di un ospedale. Un luogo in cui tecnologia, processi e competenze devono funzionare in perfetta sinergia per garantire sicurezza, efficienza e continuità operativa alle attività chirurgiche. È qui che si incontrano quotidianamente il lavoro degli operatori sanitari e il supporto dei tecnici specializzati delle aziende fornitrici.

Getinge offre molto più che dispositivi medici e soluzioni IT di alta qualità: il nostro obiettivo è instaurare partnership a lungo termine basate sul valore con gli operatori sanitari. Attraverso le partnership per la trasformazione ospedaliera (HTP), collaboriamo strettamente con i team ospedalieri per migliorare i risultati, aumentare l'efficienza e migliorare l'esperienza sia dei pazienti che del personale. Queste partnership vanno oltre la semplice fornitura di attrezzature. Si basano sulla consulenza, sull'impegno a garantire prestazioni e su risultati misurabili in linea con gli obiettivi strategici di ciascun ospedale.

Canceled or delayed procedures are a daily concern for many hospitals. While much attention is paid to surgical scheduling and staffing, the availability and performance of equipment often remain behind the scenes — until something goes wrong. In highly complex clinical environments like the Operating Room (OR), even one piece of unavailable equipment can have ripple effects across the entire day.

On October 16 & 17, Getinge celebrated the 10th anniversary of the European EVH Summit in Frankfurt, Germany. For many years, this educational event has given clinicians from all over Europe the opportunity to meet their peers and discuss the latest developments in endoscopic vessel harvesting (EVH), a minimally invasive technique used to obtain a bypass conduit for coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery.

Hospitals face rising patient numbers and limited staff. To better manage these pressures, several Danish healthcare facilities implemented INSIGHT.
