We became the first UK practice to install Melatrace hardware and software.
This system allows instrument trays that have completed a validated decontamination and sterilisation procedure to be logged and then recorded onto each patient’s record as it is used. This ensures best practice cleanliness for each and every patient. We are concerned with preventing disease, not spreading it!
