Surgical Infrastructure, elevated

The Australian team providing environmental solutions that protect your patients.

Better Air. Better Care.

Why we exist

Every surgical site infection we prevent is a life protected, a bed freed, and tens of thousands of dollars saved.

Infrastructure decisions made now define the next twenty years of outcomes.

Healthcare's Preventable but Costly Complication

Surgical site infection (SSIs) are the most common hospital acquired infection among Australian adult inpatients, and one of the most preventable.

~44,000 1 SSIs a year in adults
~900 1 deaths a year attributed to them
A$20–100K 2 direct cost per SSI case
A$323.5M 3 direct annual cost to Australian hospitals

And this is the Australian public sector alone

Ventilation is the contamination pathway we can engineer.

Ultra clean ventilation is increasingly being proven to reduce infection risk, and healthcare guidelines and engineering standards are catching up to reflect this. Mediflow is the partner hospitals trust to raise the performance of their surgical environments beyond this mandated compliance. We provide air quality solutions designed and built in Australia, and will support you all the way through to commissioning.
