Sterile Processing (SPD): Protecting the Hospital’s "Engine Room"

If the SPD stops, the OR stops.

The Sterile Processing Department (SPD) is the heart of the hospital. It’s where every surgical instrument is decontaminated, inspected, and sterilized. This process involves heavy-duty detergents and the removal of significant amounts of organic "gross soil" from instruments.

When the drains in the SPD decontamination area fail, the entire surgical schedule of the hospital is at risk. Instruments can't be processed, which means surgeries can't be performed.

The HES Solution: HES provides specialized maintenance for SPD drains that can withstand the heavy surfactants used in instrument washing while aggressively breaking down the protein-based soils that typically cause blockages. Proactive maintenance in the SPD is the best way to ensure your hospital’s surgical throughput remains uninterrupted.
