Current clinical practice is characterised by high medical standards in the latest diagnosis, treatment and monitoring techniques and requires great commitment and expertise from hospital professionals to ensure patient safety and wellbeing. This is where expert suppliers can help. HARTMANN has always been committed to greater safety in the operating theatre. It was the first company to introduce the Telatrast woven X-ray detectable threads that enable reliable imaging of all gauze bandage materials. Other products in the HARTMANN surgical range provide the protection against infection that is so essential in the operating room: gloves and clothing as well as all types of sterile drapes and complete sterile sets. All are naturally intended for single use only because only single application can offer sufficient protection against germ transfer.
