Meet ‘KEN’ – the new machine keeping Burton’s surgical equipment clean
The Sterile Services Team at Queen’s Hospital Burton are enjoying the benefits of being the first team in UK to have five newly installed, eco-friendly machines, called ‘Ken’, which are used to clean around 7,000 trays of surgical equipment every month. The department, which processes almost 160,000 wash cycles every year, carefully selected the new machines based on a wide variety of benefits to both the team and the environment.
