CI Surgeries

In cochlear implant (CI) surgery, maintaining absolute sterility in the operating theatre is critical and non-negotiable.

To safeguard against infection, our partner hospital follows rigorous aseptic protocols at every step so the environment remains impeccably sterile and your child is protected throughout the procedure.

What this includes

Air control: HEPA-filtered, positive-pressure airflow; doors closed and traffic limited.
Team prep: Surgical hand scrub, sterile gowns/masks, double-gloving, and an asepsis checklist.
Patient prep: Antiseptic skin cleansing, sterile draping, and antibiotics as indicated.
Instruments & implants: Validated sterilization; implants opened only when the surgeon is ready; single-use disposables.
Discipline & cleaning: Protected sterile zones, full disinfection between cases, audits, and the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist.

These measures sharply reduce infection risk and support smooth healing, providing you with peace of mind throughout your child’s CI surgery.
