Surgical Instrument Decontamination
Our private label and Weiman® branded products are designed to satisfy needs for every step of the surgical instrument decontamination process as defined by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) guidelines.
Pre-Soak Detergents
Instruments should have gross soil removed as soon as possible after use. Allowing soil and tissue to dry can cause instruments to rust and pit. Presoaking surgical instruments immediately after use provides the most complete cleaning and reduces the risk of cross-contamination. Presoaking also protects instrument surfaces and extends instrument life. Learn More>>
Manual Cleaning Detergents
Manual cleaning is typically performed prior to automatic washer cycles, when an ultrasonic cleaner or automatic washer is not available or when the instruments are very delicate. An effective, free rinsing detergent should be used. Learn More>>
Ultrasonic Cleaning Detergents
Ultrasonic cleaning is the most efficient cleaning method. This process removes even the tiniest particles from instrument box locks, cracks and crevices. Enzyme detergents offer superior ultrasonic cleaning but a low-sudsing, neutral pH detergent may also be used. Learn More>>
Automatic Washers/Decontaminator Detergents & Lubricants
The automatic washer/decontaminator will remove the majority of soil on the instrument. A low sudsing, neutral pH detergent or buffered alkaline detergent should be used in an automatic washer/decontaminator; otherwise instruments can spot, stain, freeze up and corrode. Learn More>>
