Sterile Operating Theatre 

The British Veterinary Centre is the only veterinary practice which operates a sterile theatre. 

This means our operating theatre has controlled access to staff and visitors and is designed in a special way with separate ventilation. 

Staff only enter the theatre when they are wearing theatre scrubs and theatre clogs. 

The room is kept free of germs which could infect the wound during surgery. 

The British Veterinary Centre is the only veterinary practice in the Gulf currently routinely performing certain surgeries like spinal, orthopaedic reconstructive plating and TPLO operations. These are often long surgeries and extra sterility is essential to prevent complications. 

The benefits of running a sterile theatre also extend to routine surgeries like cat and dog sterilizations. Extra sterility avoids the routine use of antibiotics and there are almost no post operative wound infections. 

In the picture Dr Hale is performing an orthopaedic procedure. The black handled instrument is a compressed air orthopaedic handpiece (de Soutter MPZ) manufactured for the human orthopaedic specialists but used here  to achieve excellent results in small animal surgery.
