Can you imagine an operating room that cares not only for patients but also for the planet? That’s exactly what ours do!
Reusable scrubs and gowns: Our surgical gowns are made from reusable, fluid-resistant, washable, and sterilizable fabrics. The result? We prevent 7.2 tons of hospital waste per month and save $960,000 annually!
Rational use of medications: In our operating rooms, we manage pharmaceuticals responsibly, reducing pharmaceutical contamination from prescription to administration. In 2023, we adjusted and administered over 122,000 medications in our surgical areas, optimizing resources while maintaining high standards of care. A positive impact for everyone!
Efficient LED lighting: 100% of our surgery rooms use LED lights, reducing energy consumption by 80%, eliminating heat emissions, and minimizing hazardous waste. Less heat, more savings!
Sustainable anesthetic gases: Since 2006, we have eliminated nitrous oxide and reduced the use of inhaled anesthetics, achieving a 5% reduction in our carbon footprint within just one year.
Advanced HVAC system: Our EC air conditioning units are more efficient, belt-free, and require less maintenance.
Eco-friendly reusable devices: By using reusable anesthesia masks, silicone resuscitators, and other devices, we’ve saved $3.7 million over five years! Additionally, we’ve avoided 274 tons of CO2e emissions and prevented the use of 11 tons of DEHP PVC plastic.
Reusable containers for sterilization: These contribute to reducing plastic use in healthcare.
Efficient medical kits: With surgical planners and QR code readers, we use the exact number of instruments and supplies needed, reducing waste and maximizing care.
Efficient laundry system: The use of reusable clothing in surgery increased by 54% in 2023! This prevented 6.4 tons of CO2e emissions—all thanks to these eco-friendly solutions!
