WPI also offers chemical agents for High Level Disinfection (HLD), which kills most microbes and some bacterial spores. Cidex Plus^® (3.4% glutaraldehyde) can be used as a high level disinfectant. The CDC recommends a 90 minute soak at 25°C. While dry heat and autoclaving is the preferred method of sterilizing surgical instruments, some chemical sterilants may be used. Cidex Plus^® can be used as a HLD disinfectants or as a sterilant, depending on the exposure period. Surgical Instruments soaked in Cidex Plus^® for 10 hours at 25°C are sterile. 

For more then 20 years, hospitals worldwide have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by using Surgistain^® to restore instruments. Used routinely as part of the Ruhof System, Surgistain^® 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, Surgistain^® will restore the instruments' original finish and loosen box-locks and joints. It is an excellent choice for use on all ophthalmic and microsurgical instruments.

Why Use ENZOL to Clean Surgical Instruments?

ENZOL^® 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 CIDEX^® Solution. The proteolytic enzymes break down organic matter in one easy step. Enzol^® 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 OPA^® Solution, a 0.55% ortho-phthalaldehyde solution, is glutaraldehyde-free and effective at room temperature (68°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 25°C in an automated endoscope re processor. Twelve-minute soak time 20°C for manual reprocessing
