Executive Summary
Protecting surgical incision sites from bacteria that cause infection is an ongoing challenge for implant surgeons. Older technologies, such as laminar flow (the distribution of filtered air) and body exhaust suits offer debatable benefit. But the new Air Barrier System from Nimbic Systems Inc. has demonstrated reductions of infection-causing bacteria at incisions by up to 84%, thanks to its ability to create a high-purity, non-turbulent zone of protective air over the surgical site, thus preventing bacteria from entering the patient’s body.
