Your Results Depend on Clean Equipment
Dirty surgical instruments with remnants of hidden debris, built-up proteins and spots of rust can corrupt you research results, invalidating all your work. Enzol is a fast, effective protealytic detergent designed for cleaning surgical instruments. After a good cleaning, you may proceed to disinfection and sterilization according to your GLP (good laboratory practice). Cleaning instruments is always the first step towards sterilization. A detergent like Enzol assists in the removal of the debris that could also interfere with further disinfection/sterilization.

WPI also offers chemical agents for High Level Disinfection (HLD), which kills most microbes and some bacterial spores. Cidex PlusĀ® (3.4% glutaraldehyde) can be used as a high level disinfectant. The CDC recommends a 90 minute soak at 25Ā°C. While dry heat and autoclaving is the preferred method of sterilizing surgical instruments, some chemical sterilants may be used. Cidex PlusĀ® can be used as a HLD disinfectants or as a sterilant, depending on the exposure period. Surgical Instruments soaked in Cidex PlusĀ® for 10 hours at 25Ā°C are sterile.
For more then 20 years, hospitals worldwide have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by using SurgistainĀ® to restore instruments. Used routinely as part of the Ruhof System, SurgistainĀ® will help maintain the life and efficiency of your instruments and reduce repair and replacements costs. If used on a monthly basis in conjunction with our enzymatic cleaners, SurgistainĀ® will restore the instruments' original finish and loosen box-locks and joints.

Why Use ENZOL to Clean Surgical Instruments?
ENZOLĀ® Detergent is a mild pH enzyme-based, presoak-plus-cleaner for removing tough, dried-on or hard-to-reach organic matter from instruments before they are disinfected in CIDEXĀ® Solution. The proteolytic enzymes break down organic matter in one easy step. EnzolĀ® is fast--results begin in one minute. Preteolytic enzymes penetrate and break down protein, reducing the need for mechanical cleaning.
- Effective at room temperature (no need for hot water)
- Safe for instruments, including delicate endoscopes
- Mild pH reduces likelihood of corrosion
- Easy to rinse, so it won't clog scopes or leave a residue on instruments
- Low foaming, making it effective for use in automated equipment
Why Use CIDEX for Sterilizing Surgical Instruments?
CIDEX OPAĀ® Solution, a 0.55% ortho-phthalaldehyde solution, is glutaraldehyde-free and effective at room temperature (68Ā°F). Test strips are available to test the MEC of the solutions.
- Non-corrosive for instruments
- No activating or mixing need
- Glutaraldehyde-free (0.55% ortho-phthalaldehyde) high-level disinfecting solution
- Rapid 5-minute soak time at 25Ā°C in an automated endoscope re processor. Twelve-minute soak time 20Ā°C for manual reprocessing
