Sterilisation requirements for surgical dermatology

Medical Council of Malta · Healthcare Standards Directorate (HCSD)

Dermatologists in Malta who perform surgical procedures — skin biopsies, excisions, cryotherapy with reusable instruments — operate under the general medical duty of the Health Care Professions Act (Chapter 464). Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (Medical Devices Regulation) applies directly to reusable medical devices. The Standards for Dental Clinics (March 2024) is not a dermatology-specific document, but its sterilisation framework — Class B steriliser, validation, cycle checks, load verification — applies as best practice to any clinic processing reusable invasive instruments. HCSD inspection of medical premises follows the Standards' general principles. Documented sterilisation traceability is a core professional obligation under Medical Council of Malta expectations.
