Suture Up Safely For Your Rhinoplasty & Avoid Infections

You probably must have heard quite a lot about the MRSA or staph infections that are the bane of health care providers around the globe.

The staph bacterium occurs on everyone's skin. The trouble begins when they find a break in the skin like a pore or a cut or in the case of nose enhancement surgery, an incision. Once the incision or wound is discovered by the bacteria, the infection takes root.

Healthcare providers and clinics employ various methods to prevent the onset of the MRSA or staph bacteria and play crucial attention to the practice of hygiene in the operating and treatment areas. Sometimes basic soap and water is all it takes to keep the germs at bay.

In a nose surgery procedure doctors at our advanced surgical institute practice the various steps of hygiene that are laid down and make use of sterilized equipment for the surgery. The suture area especially is kept clean and Antibacterial Sutures are made use of.

Developed by Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson, these sutures are specially treated to kill the bacteria on site and hamper their spread.

MRSA is less known to respond to usual antibiotics making its treatment and prevention tricky. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California is aware of the risks that come with nose surgery or any other operation for that matter and take the appropriate steps to minimize these risks.

Each of our facilities is accredited by the AAAHC and this certification supports our professional and ethical outlook. Visit us to know more.
