Each year millions of people undergo surger, and in these surgeries, millions of medical instruments are used. As required by law and hosptial policy, these medical instruments must be sanitized. 

However, these instruments can still become contaminated and cause serious infections. Contamination typically occurs because of improper sanitation and misuse. 

If you or anyone you know has received an infection because of a contaminated instrument, contact the Washington medical malpractice lawyers of Fuller & Fuller at 800-570-4878.
