Sterilization traceability for podiatry practices in Spain

Spain has the broadest scope of podiatric practice in Europe — including surgery under local anaesthesia. Your sterilization records must match that professional standard. SecuSteri provides the digital traceability your practice needs.

What the law requires from podiatry practices

Consejería de Sanidad (regional health inspection) · Colegio Oficial de Podólogos

Podiatry is a regulated independent healthcare profession in Spain under LOPS 44/2003, requiring a 4-year university degree (Grado en Podología). Practices must be registered as centros sanitarios with the regional health authority. Sterilization follows the same standards as dental practices: dedicated sterilization area, written protocol with triple validation (physical, chemical, biological controls), EN 13060-compliant Class B autoclave, and sterilization records with dates, parameters, and expiry dates. The podiatrist acts as Técnico Garante under RD 1591/2009. Colegiación with the Colegio de Podólogos is mandatory.
