Which Cleaners Work Best for Veterinary Instrument Maintenance?

Our veterinary cleaning line includes specialized enzymatic detergents and ultrasonic solutions. These formulas are designed to remove biological materials from instruments while protecting the equipment. For suction equipment maintenance, we offer dedicated evacuation system cleaners that help maintain proper function.

How Do Enzymatic Cleaners Support Infection Control Protocols?

The enzymatic cleaning formula helps break down complex organic materials on surgical instruments and equipment. This thorough cleaning process supports proper sanitization and helps prevent cross-contamination. The gentle yet effective formula also helps preserve instrument quality over time.

What Cleaning Schedule Do You Recommend for Veterinary Equipment?

Regular cleaning helps maintain equipment safety and function. While specific timing depends on usage patterns, we recommend that surgical instruments be pre-cleaned immediately after each procedure. This is especially important following surgical or high-risk procedures to prevent residue accumulation and maintain proper sanitization levels.

According to CDC guidelines such items preferably should be heat sterilized or at a minimum disinfected using high level disinfectant processes (gluteraldehyde, peracetic acid, ethylene oxide gas, etc.).
