Biofilm: The encyclopedia of beauty
Certain germs produce a sticky coating that protects them from attack. These germs include widespread skin germs (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus) and water germs (Pseudomonas aeruginosa).
The coating consists of proteins and sugar and ensures the survival of the germs even under extreme conditions. Antibiotics and antibodies cannot kill the germs under this protective layer. These germs are particularly dangerous if they form a biofilm on the surface of implants.
The only way to get rid of the germs is to remove the implant. CenterPlast therefore takes special precautions when handling implants. We recommend cleaning the skin thoroughly with special antiseptic soaps before the operation. Immediately before the operation, the skin is carefully disinfected three times with an alcohol solution.
The nipples are covered with sterile plasters. Medical instruments are reprocessed in accordance with the strictest regulations. We administer one-off antibiotics to patients before the operation. The tissue is dissected very carefully and gently with a scalpel. The implants are inserted using a “no-touch technique” and rinsed with two different antibiotics beforehand.
