Blood and other soils will dry on instruments and inside channels of devices and start the formation of biofilm and corrosion within minutes after the end of a procedure. Endoscopy nurses have a short window to take action BEFORE sending scopes and instruments to the processing area. Scope manufacturer instructions plus guidelines from SGNA, AORN,…

Proclense plus is an economical instrument detergent intended for cleaning medical and dental instruments and devices.

ProClense plus contains a team of chemical agents including surfactants to aid in the release of soil from surfaces and chelating agents to improve performance in hard water.

Yes, ProClense plus is a non-enzymatic detergent with mild alkalinity (pH 8.0 to 10.0). Follow device manufacturer’s instructions for selection of cleaning agents and ensure thorough rinsing to remove all residual cleaning agents and soils.

General, materials compatibility is not an issue with the MicroCare cleaners, but make no mistake — materials compatibility can be a complex question. In general, the higher the Kb value of the solvent, the more likely the material will have some compatibility issues.For example, Vertrel™ XF has almost no compatibility problems with any substrate. It has a very mild…

Yes, ProClense plus is low-foaming and tested with cleaning verification devices to demonstrate effective action in automated washers.

Yes, ProClense plus is formulated at a mild alkalinity and tested under lab and clinical conditions to demonstrate compatibility with aluminum and glass or lensed materials.

The short answer is, maybe. Many of the cleaners used to replace alcohols, old- style chlorinated solvents, plus HCFCs and CFCs, all have Global Warming Potential (GWP) ratings of some degree or another. Careful engineers will need to determine which solvent works best in their application while minimizing the GWP. Most MicroCare product specifications list…

The dynamics of water flow through tubing combined with sticky prophy paste, saliva, etc. provides perfect conditions for biofilm to form and produce foul odors.  The ProE-Vac Liquid Evacuation System Cleaner keeps tubing and pumps free flowing, reduces odors and removes bioflim.

Static is an insidious actor when it comes to fiber optics. It comes from friction. Anytime two different materials are rubbed together there is a transfer of surface electrons that creates a static charge. The technical term for this event is “triboelectric charging.” This static charge turns the fiber optic end-face into a microscopic magnet, attracting…
