User Testimonials

“I think for the benefit that these devices can provide, the cost is really nominal because if this can help prevent infection in even one out of 100 cases, the cost of that can be reduced dramatically to the hospital because the cost of treating an infection across the United States nationally can be hundreds of millions of dollars.”

Joshua C. Rozell, MD, FAAHKS Assistant Professor
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Division of Adult Reconstruction
NYU Langone Medical Center

“We have an ILLUVIA in each of our CVOR’s and I contribute this unit to the improvements we have seen in our SSIs at the hospital. Since the implementation of our SSI Collaborative Program, we have staff from each area that our patients travel to, involved in trying to minimize any potential factors that can facilitate SSI’s and feel very comfortable saying that our contribution is directly related to the Aerobiotix systems.”

Anita Mullen, RN
Infection Preventionist

“We really think that this is one of the adjunct materials that every hospital should have, I really would recommend the use of the ILLUVIA.”

“The ILLUIVA surgical air disinfection device provides real time data on airborne particular concentration, which has helped us reduce operating room traffic, and therefore particulates in the air.”

“Honestly, why wouldn’t you do it? It doesn’t even make sense not to.”

Leo Chough, MD, FAAOS
