Healthcare cleaning detergents and procedures are intended to keep instruments and equipment clean and ready for sterilization, prolong their working life, minimize cross-contamination and reduce medical waste. It is crucial to remove all biological and chemical unwanted residuals from the surface to avoid unsuccessful sterilization of the medical device surface. Thorough cleaning before disinfection or sterilization also reduces the probability of contaminating the surface with endotoxins from killed but incompletely removed microbes. Alconox, LLC offers a range of mild alkaline detergents that are ideal for manual cleaning of resuable instruments preventing corrosion with improved safety.
