Instrument Reprocessing Under Pressure - How Spec Clean Helps SPDs Do More with Less
November 03, 2025
Sterile Processing Departments are the heart of surgical safety — yet today’s workforce shortages and rising case volumes are testing the limits of even the best teams.

When staffing is tight, instrument reprocessing consistency is often the first casualty. Missed pre-treatment steps, rushed cleaning, or improper rinsing can all increase the risk of incomplete sterilization — and compromise patient safety.

Spec Clean: A Complete System for Reliable Reprocessing
 
  • Pre-Treatment Spray — Keeps soils moist from the OR to the sink, reducing rewash cycles.
  • Enzymatic Detergents — Rapidly break down proteins and bioburden while protecting instrument finishes.
  • Non-Enzymatic Detergents — Provide powerful cleaning for general-use and enzyme-restricted environments.
  • Rinse Agent — Prevents mineral deposits, improves drying, and ensures spotless trays ready for sterilization.
  • Lubricant — Maintains hinge movement, prevents corrosion, and extends instrument life.
When paired together, these solutions simplify workflows, reduce turnaround time, and reinforce compliance, even for short-staffed departments.

With Spec Clean, you’re not just cleaning instruments — you’re protecting patients and preserving performance.
